Voices for the hospices

On Saturday October 14 at 7.30 p.m. there will be a choir concert at the Palma Cathedral with over 200 voices assembled from all over Mallorca, conducted by Conway Jones. They will sing Faure's Requiem and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, in aid of the Friends of the Hospices.

This is an international project that was started in England in 1989 under the sponsorship of British Telecom in London. This year the event is being enthusiastically promoted in over 40 countries worldwide. Concerts will be held in many hundreds of towns and villages, some 240 in the UK with three in Spain, Palma being for the first time. There will be continuous chain of song crossing from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, India, Africa, Europa, USA and Canada as all concerts will start at the same local time.

Admission will be free and 2000 souvenir programmes will be distributed to the audience. However there will be opportunities for people to make donations to Friends of the Hospice as they leave the Cathedral.
