Conductor and composer Jessica Norton (musical director of London Concord Singers, with whom I sing, East London Chorus and London Orpheus Choir) is planning to raise money for the charity Music for All by hiking up mountains. Jessica plans to hike up Ben Nevis (June), the Yorkshire 3 Peaks (July) and Pointe de Ressachaux in Morzine, Portes du Soleil (August), and in addition to seeking sponsorship she is accepting challenges along the way.
The money goes in support of Music for All which donates instruments & tuition to individuals who need help, and makes grants available to address the musical needs of community music groups & educational organisations.
Do visit Jessica's Just Giving page.
