Generous Warwickshire businesses have joined forces with musicians, artists and private individuals in support of a charity auction raising money for vital music projects in the community.
Armonico Consort’s Once in a Lifetime Charity Auction takes place on 15 November (8.30pm) with over 30 once in a lifetime experiences and unique pieces going under the hammer at 0% premium. Among kind-hearted local donors and supporters are Howards of Stratford Ltd, Griffin’s Auctioneers & Valuers, Pragnell and The Wigley Group, alongside Roger Medwell MBE DL and Baljit Shergill.
Prizes include the chance to meet prog rock legend Rick Wakeman CBE, a tour of the Jaguar Classics Works with its former chairman Sir John Egan, an England Ashes cricket bat signed by Ashley Giles MBE and Ian Bell MBE, a music concert in your own home and a wine tasting with TV celebrity Oz Clarke. The auction is part of Warwick-based music charity Armonico Consort’s £300,000 Encore Appeal.
Proceeds will fund children’s choirs in deprived areas, music workshops for young people with special educational needs, and Memory Singers groups for people living with dementia.
