Our first fund-raising event this year took place on 2nd February at Clevedon Court, Somerset. In a historic hall with a real-candle chandelier and roaring log fire, Anna-Margarita Oprenova, and her string quartet Leto from the Birmingham Conservatoire entertained us with a programme of British and Bulgarian pieces performed exquisitely.
A wonderful three-course folk-buffet followed, and an appeal for donations raised over £12,000 !
A big THANK YOU to all our generous donors, to our host Julia Elton, and to everybody who helped make the evening so enjoyable.
