Charity Winter Concert for Cystic Fibrosis

Tuesday 12th January 2010

The Endcliffe Orchestra will be performing an exciting selection of film music at their forthcoming Charity Winter Concert on Saturday 16th January. The event will take place at St Luke’s Church in Lodge Moor from 7.30pm and everyone is welcome.

All profits from the event will go to benefit the Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal, which aims to raise £1million to build and fully equip a new adult Cystic Fibrosis unit at the Northern General Hospital.

The Orchestra, led by Ralph Dawson and conducted by Martin Lightowler, will entertain guests with some fantastic music from a range of popular films such as The Great Escape, ET, Gladiator, Titanic and Pirates of the Caribbean. The Orchestra will also showcase Walton’s music from Henry V and Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe.

Sara Green will be one of the musicians taking part. She said: “The aim was to stage a really fun and interesting show whilst raising much-needed funds for a very worthy cause. We chose to support Sheffield Hospitals Charitable Trust by raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Appeal, because not only does one of our musicians suffer from Cystic Fibrosis, but one of the consultants from the Cystic Fibrosis Unit occasionally plays French horn with us. So you could say that it really is a cause close to our hearts.”

Tickets for the event are priced at £8 per person, £6 concession, under 16’s free. Tickets are available by contacting Sara on 0114 262 0803.

Fundraiser Isla Denoon, said: “The Winter Concert sounds like a really great event and with songs from a range of popular films, you cannot fail to recognise one of your favourites. We are grateful to Endcliffe Orchestra for supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Appeal and for helping us to move one step closer to achieving our appeal target.”
