Ripon Cathedral hosts concert to raise money for mental health
Ripon Cathedral will play host to a concert this coming weekend to raise money and awareness for a local mental health charity.
Wellspring Therapy and Training, which is based in Starbeck, provides affordable counselling to people suffering from mental illness.
Harrogate concert pianist Julian Saphir and soprano Eleanore Cockerham, a former member of internationally-acclaimed singing group VOCES8, will star in the November 12 concert, which is called A Night to Remember.
They will be joined by local choirs and performers, including Nidd Chorale, Unity Voices, Harrogate Theatre Choir, and St Aidan’s School Chamber Choir.
The concert also aims to raise awareness by exploring themes of memory and thanksgiving.
