I aim to walk 100 miles in March 2025 to raise money for the Surrey Hills International Music Festival - to help ensure that top level live classical music continues to be available now and for the rising generations of music lovers.

Even more vitally, the extra money means that the Festival will be able to keep running its other charitable projects, like the String Scheme in local schools, the Surrey Hills Young Composer Competition and important performance platforms for gifted young emerging artists. We will also be able to realise our plans for projects which introduce a new audience of disadvantaged children to the joy of live classical music.
