Lost Chord serves up festive favourites

Professional musicians involved in the organisation's year round programme of interactive musical sessions for people living with dementia will be playing at the Festive Favourites evening at All saints’ Church in Laughten-en-le-Morthen tomorrow evening at 7pm.

Topping the bill will be duo Melody Lane, the multi-talented singers and musicians who perform regularly on cruise liners around the world and have proved an enormous hit at Lost Chord events.

They will be joined by pianists Heidi Rolfe and Tim Short, sopranos Natalie Montakhab and Ella Taylor, the BBC 2010 Chorister of the Year, and the Sheffield High School Choir, accompanied by Heidi Rolfe and conducted by Dr Martin Thiselton.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to hear our Lost Church musicians doing what they do best,” said the charity’s chief executive Helena Muller.

“All the money raised on the night will be going towards the funding our Lost Chord's work with Alzheimers Day Centres and Memory Cafes, ensuring that people in the earlier stages of dementia and still living in the community can retain their independence for as long as possible.”

Tickets for the evening - which includes mince pies and mulled wine - cost £10 in advance or £12 on the door, with a £5 ticket for under 16s.
