A Soiree for SENSE


My Charity for the year has been Sense - Devon which cares for children and young people born deafblind. As part of the Teignmouth Harp Festival I held a Soiree at historic Bitton House, Teignmouth and Florence Sitruk, Harp, Christoph Bunzendahl, Cello together with Mezzo Soprano Nicola Smedley and pianist Stephen Lea generously gave their services free of charge. The evening was a black tie event followed by a buffet supper and the event raised over £1000 for Sense. The setting and atmosphere was perfect with music by Vivaldo, Bach, Meldelssohn, Chopin and Debussy floating from the Salon over the grounds of the former home of Lord Exmouth.
