One highlight of the year is Sing for Water, which Roxane has been co-directing since 2006. This massed choir performs as part of Thames Festival every September to raise money for Water Aid. In 2020, the concert went online and singers around the country managed to continue fundraising…..we raised an impressive £27,494 for WaterAid to continue its life saving work with people who do not even have access to safe water. To view the online concert CLICK THIS LINK In total Sing for Water has raised an impressive £1.2 million. That’s alot of singing and alot of clean water.
Roxane has been running community choirs and a variety of singing groups since 1998. The nature or location of the group may vary from year to year, but the fundamental mission remains the same: to make singing in harmony accessible and fun.
