Music in Hospitals' 60th Anniversary!

In 2008, Music in Hospitals will celebrate 60 years of bringing live music to people of all ages in healthcare. There will be a number of exciting events taking place throughout the year so watch this space! We would not have reached this special Anniversary without the generosity of our supporters and I hope you will be able to join us at one of the events and join in the celebrations.

Music in Hospitals North West

Our regional office launched in July 2006 and has been going from strength to strength. If you are a professional musician based in the North West we would love to hear from you. Please call us on 0161 907 5387 or email info@music-in-hospitals.org.uk.

60th Anniversary Royal Gala Concert

In recognition of our Diamond Jubilee we are holding a Gala Concert and Dinner at St John’s, Smith Square, London on Tuesday, 9th September 2008 in the presence of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. We are delighted our Vice Presidents Dame Evelyn Glennie and Julian Lloyd Webber will be performing a rich selection of music, with Richard Stilgoe comparing the evening. Marsh & McLennan Companies are most generously sponsoring The City of London Sinfonia.

The ticket booking form is available for download here.

Money raised from the evening is essential to reach our audiences totalling more than 125,000 adults and children with all kinds of illness and disability. Whilst we are extremely excited at this prospect, we are also aware that this represents a huge challenge and a big commitment in terms of our limited resources and funds. We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available. Please contact us for further details.
