Join Us for an Afternoon of Inspiring Music and Generosity

On Saturday, 15th February 2025, immerse yourself in a heartfelt afternoon of classical music, supporting two vital causes: Musicians of Ukraine and Music & Dementia. Set against the picturesque backdrop of St Anne’s Church and Ings Parish Hall (LA8 9PY), this event promises to uplift your spirits while making a meaningful difference.

A Continuing Legacy of Musical Support

MA LP B

This benefit concert marks the ninth event in a remarkable series organised by Bridget Starling, treasurer of The Westmorland Orchestra and a member of our Lakeland Leisure Estates Head Office team in Staveley. Since its inception in May 2022 following the start of the war in Ukraine, this initiative has raised nearly £17,000 for various causes. With your support, the initiative aims to build on this incredible achievement.

Performances to Inspire
