EUBO appeal

The European Union Baroque Orchestra provides training and experience for young performers, giving a series of tours annually and working with a different group of performers each year. This year they are planning performances of Vivaldi's Four Seasons (with puppets from the puppet theatre Favoletta) and an their Handel programme Peace and Reconciliation which includes Handel's Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, Birthday Ode for Queen Anne plus Herbert Howells Take Him Lord for Cherishing.  (Performances take place in June in Etternach, Rotterdam and Nantes).

With the change in the way that the European Union funding works, they are short of cash for these tours and are appealing for funds.  You can donate on-line, or contact Noora Heiskanen on info@eubo.org.uk 

You can read my review of their wonder full Handel CD, Pure Handel, on this blog.
