Mini Proms in the Garden at Beechwood Care Home

Beechwood Care Home is holding a ‘Mini Proms in the Park’ event on Sunday 16^th August 2.00pm to 6.00pm.   Beechwood is situated just outside Upton Upon Severn.

 

We are looking for a variety of performers that could donate their time to this event as we are a non for profit organisation (part of Sanctuary Care).  However we would be able to make a small donation for expenses.

 

We are looking for a variety of musicians including classical performers, soloists, community group choirs, singer/guitarists, duos, young performers etc  The music would need to be familiar and reasonably popular – so more Classic Fm than Radio 3 and music from the 50’s or 60s would be especially popular, also music from the shows would be great.

 

For more details – please contact Tina King, Activities Co-ordinator at Beechwood Care Home on 01684 595959 or email Tina.King@Sanctuary-housing.co.uk
