The leading opera star is a patron and keen and active supporter of the organisation that provides vital interactive musical sessions for people living with dementia in care homes and day centres across the region and nationally.

On December 19 at 7pm she will join some of Lost Chord’s most acclaimed musicians for a fundraising Christmas evening at Doncaster’s magnificent Minster Church of St George.

The evening will also include mulled wine and mince pies, served during the interval.
