LEDBURY'S Market Theatre is the venue for the town's Rotary Club's annual charity concert on Saturday, April 4.

The club is delighted to welcome recording and radio star, Deborah Rose whose enchanting voice is in demand at concerts at home and abroad. The event will also feature special guest soprano, Livia King. Malvern-born Livia is a postgraduate vocal student at the prestigious Birmingham Conservatoire and hopes to become an opera singer. She sang the title role of Iolanthe for HRH Duke of Edinburgh during her final year at Cambridge where she read classics and she has sung at venues such as St Paul's Cathedral, St Martin-in-the-fields, St John's Smith Square and St Mark's, Venice with various choirs.

Livia can regularly be heard singing in and around Malvern as part of all-female vocal consort, The Jenny Lind Singers. The hugely popular tenor Carlos Alonso has also agreed to sing at this important concert, at which pianist Philip Holland will play a selection of music and act as accompanist.

Proceeds from the event will go towards raising funds for the Acorns Children's Hospice. In the last year Acorns has supported more than 760 children and more than 980 families, including those who are bereaved.

This full programme of classical, modern and popular music, with something to suit all tastes, starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, April 4. To book, call 07967 517125 or visit the box office in The Master's House in St. Katherines car park.
