A CHARITY concert will take place in Douai Abbey later this month.

Members of the Reading Phoenix Choir will perform a selection of mainly a cappella, music from across the centuries from Hildegard von Bingen to Josu Elberdin.

The music will also include works by Tallis, Wesley, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Bruckner, Elgar, and John Rutter. There will also be an opportunity to hear new choral pieces by some modern young composers.

The money raised at the concert will be used to support the work of the Refugee Support Group.

Nick Harborne, CEO of Refugee Support Group said: “We are delighted and honoured that the Reading Phoenix Choir will be singing to support Refugee Support Group (RSG) at this concert.

“Refugees and asylum seekers have faced unimaginable horrors and challenges most of us will never understand. Sadly, their difficulties do not end in the UK as they face an increasingly hostile environment.”

He continued: “Refugee Support Group has been supporting such refugees in Berkshire for over 30 years, and we will be so grateful for your support in coming to this concert to hear this wonderful choir, which will help enable us to continue to employ our casework team who provide much-needed and free advice and support.

“We are dependent on the generosity of the public.”

The event takes place on Saturday, October 21, from 7.30pm. Tickets cost £12, or £6 for under 18s.
