Hi everyone, for those of you who don't know me, my name is Isabella Todes and I help run Cavatina and am also playing Mozart's A Major violin concerto in this concert. When Max (the conductor of Cavatina) and I were discussing the idea of me doing a concerto, we thought it only fitting to support MIND as i have had my own struggles with mental health and we wanted to help others in any way we could. I won't bore you with the details but i have taken the last year out of school and with the help of my extremely supportive parents and doctors, I am on the road to recovery. If you are able to give any sort of donation it would be hugely appreciated as it will go towards helping others who haven't been as fortunate as me in getting the help they need. If you are around on Saturday 7th September at 7.30pm in St James's Church, Sussex Gardens and would like to come to the concert, there are tickets available on the door or at www.cavatinaorchestra.com . 

Many thanks, 

Bella
