Profits from ticket sales will be split equally between the two charities and there will be a collection bucket and Gift Aid envelopes for the Hospice if you are able to donate further to them.

The first half will feature works by Chopin, Debussy, Britten, Messiaen, Peter Sculthorpe, Bartok, Wagner and Grieg, interpolated with Indian Ragas reflecting the stages of night.
