Shropshire Chamber Orchestra to perform at Wellington church
Concert featuring Haydn and Schumann works will raise money for a brain tumour charity
Music lovers are being invited to an evening of classical music when Shropshire Chamber Orchestra performs at a Wellington church next month.
The orchestra will perform at All Saints Parish Church in Wellington on Saturday, October 3, at 7.30pm.
The programme will include Haydn's Trumpet Concerto and Schumann's Symphony No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 38, known as the "Spring" Symphony.
Shropshire Chamber Orchestra is made up of enthusiastic musicians who came together to perform music. The orchestra grew out of a collaboration between Shifnal Chorale and the Telford Orchestra.
As part of its programme of concerts, the orchestra also raises money for charitable causes.
A retiring collection at the Wellington concert will be held in aid of the Team Cleo Fund, a fundraising initiative supporting The Brain Tumour Charity.
The fund was established in memory of Cleo Postlethwaite, who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour and died in March 2019. Her parents, Jane and Alex, set up the fund to support research into paediatric brain tumours and raise awareness of the condition.
