The Manchester Beethoven Orchestra is hosting a concert to raise vital funds to help support the 600,000 people affected by epilepsy in the UK.
The concert, on Saturday 28 January at Christ Church, Didsbury, will raise money for Epilepsy Action. The orchestra has chosen to support Epilepsy Action this year as one of its members has been affected by epilepsy. Entrance to the concert is free and a collection will be taken for Epilepsy Action.
Patricia Goulcher, secretary of Manchester Beethoven Orchestra, said: “Every concert we give, we raise money for a charity. This year we’ve chosen Epilepsy Action as one of our members has been affected by the condition. It’s great to do something we love while raising money for a good cause.”
