WHO members, Soprano Barbara Gompels, Mezzo Soprano Paula Boyagis, Tenor Carlos Alonso together with pianist Tony James join forces with international cellist Anup Biswas for a special musical concert to raise money for the Mathieson Trust in Kolkata India which celebrates its 30th Anniversary
The evening will take place on 15th June at Market Lavington Community Hall starting at 6pm with a home cooked Indian meal followed by a range of musical delights from opera to songs from the shows.
The Mathieson Music Trust – The Mathieson Mission School was established in 1994, by Maestro Anup Kumar Biswas, it is a registered charity and was set up in memory of his guru, Father Theodore Mathieson, an Anglican priest from England. Father Mathieson of the Oxford Mission dedicated his entire life to the poor children of Bengal. After Mathieson’s death in 1994, Mr Biswas became his torchbearer, aiming to emulate his work and morals by helping children from the poorest families. Mr Biswas wanted to give the opportunities he received through Father Mathieson’s generosity, to other children coming from impoverished backgrounds like his own. For 30 years, Mr Biswas has singlehandedly fundraised globally for the trust through concerts, classes, workshops, and other such events. Some key performances were in the presence of the late Queen Elizabeth II of England and King Charles III; the venues Mr Biswas has performed in range from the Royal Albert Hall (UK), The Carnegie Hall (USA), Commonwealth Institute (UK) and the Bayreuth Opera House (Germany) to name a few. The funds raised from these events have paid for the construction of the school buildings and their maintenance, resources, and teaching of the children.
We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the anniversary of The Mathieson Music Trust and all its accomplishments in the last 30 years .
Donations will be gratefully accepted on the night but tickets are needed for numbers for catering purposes.
