Amersham Free Church, a United Reformed Church in Buckinghamshire, is hosting a trumpet and drum concert to raise money for international development agency Christian Aid.
Featuring two nationally acclaimed musicians, the concert takes place on Sunday, 30 June at 3pm.
The Revd Ian Green, Minister of Amersham Free Church, explained: “We’re very pleased to be welcoming Crispian Steele-Perkins, one of the country’s leading trumpet players, and Hilary Davan Wetton, a renowned organist and conductor.
“Crispian has presented recitals and masterclasses around the world and also played the theme tunes for many films and TV programmes, from For Your Eyes Only, to the Antiques Roadshow. Hilary is a presenter of Classic FM’s Masterclass programme as well as conductor of the Military Wives Choirs; he was also Jo Brand’s organ teacher for the BBC 1 series Play It Again.”
The event runs from 3-4.15pm at the church, in Woodside Road, followed by refreshments. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for under-16s; money raised will go towards projects Christian Aid is funding, run by local partners in countries around the world.
Christian Aid supporters help millions of people in the most vulnerable communities transform their lives. Last year, the organisation reached 3.3 million people through 275 programmes, from savings and loans associations to farming co-operatives, and climate disaster risk training to healthcare schemes.
