Friday Lunchtime Recitals

The first in a series of Friday concerts in aid of the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain and Mill Hill’s Partnership Project in Nicaragua took place on Friday 16th May in the Music School. Organised by Millhillian and NCO member Ben Glassberg, the concert featured Anna Sideris singing Mozart, and pianist David Alexander who played Beethoven and Rachmaninov. More recitals are planned starting in the autumn of 2008.

Ben says: “The NCO is a wonderful organisation, providing children with amazing opportunities in music. They allow them to meet people with similar mindsets, play with a proper orchestra and be tutored by some of the top musicians in the country. But without funds, they cannot afford to keep the organization alive.”
