Anna-Clare seeks to raise hospice funds through Bramhall concert
Anna-Clare Monk's charity concert will be returning for a fourth consecutive year, and takes place this month
Anna-Clare Monk’s is amping up support for her upcoming charity concert which returns for its fourth year to Bramhall in aid of St Ann’s Hospice.
The concert will be held in St Michael all Angels’ Church in Bramhall on Wednesday, June 25 at 7.30pm.
International opera singer Anna-Clare initially started fundraising for St Ann’s Hospice over 12 years ago. Her dad, Alistair, was cared for at the hospice over a period of three months the year prior, and she saw this as a way of giving something back to the hospice.
We held our first concert at Bramhall High School. It was a big event, we did a Last Night at the Proms Celebration and had three local primary school choirs involved and the Bramhall High School choir. We raised about £6,500 that night Anna-Clare Monk, St Ann's Hospice Supporter
“I was performing more back then but over the years my teaching has taken over. As my student numbers increased I thought it would be nice to give these talented singers an opportunity to perform. It made perfect sense to fundraise for St Ann’s at the same time.
“In the concert I perform with my students, singing popular musical theatre songs with a little bit of opera. The event is growing every year and last year we were fortunate to have a trustee from the hospice in attendance. It’s a truly special evening!”
Preparations for the concert are going well, having with weekly rehearsals with her students. As part of the concert this year she and her students will be performing a medley of songs from the Sound of Music- audience participation is optional but encouraged!!
There will also be wine, beer, soft drinks and refreshments on the night and the concert will run from 7.30- 9pm.
We’re so fortunate to have the hospice in our local area. We are so lucky that the angels at St Ann's are there for people that need them at a time that is extremely difficult . We are incredibly grateful and this is our way of saying thanks Anna-Clare Monk, St Ann's Hospice Supporter
Tickets are £10 and are available on the door. Doors open 7pm. All profits from the evening will be donated to the Hospice.
