Virtual Performance - 'Sunday" from 'Sunday in the Park with George' · 26 July 2020

Help Musicians is a charity for professional musicians of all genres, both in work and in retirement. We help at times of crisis, but also at times of opportunity, giving people the support they need at the crucial stages that could make or break their career.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

As we all know, in March the global pandemic of Coronavirus changed our world with people losing their lives and their way of life. For musicians, the inability to perform live resulted in many losing their ability to earn an income and the access to financial support has been difficult. Although the UK Government has allocated £1.57bn to the Arts industry recently, there remains significant uncertainty around how this funding will be used and if it will be used to support musicians. That is why we have come together and created a virtual performance of a wonderful piece of musical theatre for Help Musicians.

This piece, 'Sunday' from Sunday in the Park with George, comes at the end of the Act 1. The musical is by Stephen Sondheim, who celebrated his 90th birthday this year, and is based on George Seurat's most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Edited by Matthew Farrell and Thomas Mottershead (Conductor), the project contains musicians stretching from London's West End, Cardiff's Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, New York, amongst other places. We hope that you will enjoy this piece, arranged by Jason Carr, and will donate generously to Help Musicians - a very important charity for all of us involved.
