Friends of Music and i Grandi Tenori are
NGO’s which are committed to producing opportunities for all opera/classical
artists to showcase their abilities with the borders of our country. Our aim is
to see talented young people being able to create a sustainable future for
themselves in the performing arts. We see support and developments as being
paramount,” says Keith Millar, who runs Friends of Music.
“While we celebrate Christmas time with our
caring families, let’s think about those less fortunate. Help us give homeless
children some joy at Christmas time by donating a gift at the front door of the
Centre on the day of the concert,” concludes Millar.
