The Concert is co-sponsored by the Wesley Music Centre, the Order of St Lazarus ACT, and Wesley Uniting Church.
The Concert will feature the premiere performance by a new early music group, @415, led by well-known Canberra soprano, Greta Claringbould, with harpsichord, recorder and viola da gamba, along with pipe organist Mary Anne Neilsen, and Wesley music scholar Jojo Yuen on the piano. The CEO of the YWCA, Frances Crimmins, will speak briefly about the Next Door program. The concert will be followed by a sumptuous afternoon tea.
Three local charities will receive all funds raised by the Concert (from both ticket sales and donations):
- The major recipient will be the YWCA Canberra Next Door program which supports older women who are experiencing homelessness or at immediate risk of homelessness. The funds raised will particularly assist with providing essential white goods, kitchen and home appliances for women who have ended up with virtually no household goods.
- The Farm in Galong provides residential rehabilitation services for women suffering from addiction or domestic violence.
- The Genesaret Community provides support for people with intellectual disability.
