Concert for Ukraine
By way of background, Geoffrey Atkinson (retired QX church organist) previously hosted a yearly charity concert involving the then, Queen’s Cross Choir with invited guests and a local orchestra.
Gareth John, conductor of Orchestra Nova in Aberdeen, is keen to re-instate these concerts along with Ewen Ritchie Director of Music at Fountainhall Church (FHC) and Moira Docherty. Together they are planning a concert on Saturday 22nd June at Fountainhall at the Stocket Church at 7.30pm with FHC Choir, soloists Amy Strachan, Scottish Opera, and Iryna Chupryna, National Opera of Ukraine with Orchestra Nova conducted by Gareth John.
Highlights include Zadok the Priest - Handel, Eater Hymn – Mascagni, The Blue Danube – Strauss.
All proceeds will be for Ukraine.
