George Coates presents GALA CONCERT 2026 – 7pm
Join us for a special Gala Concert in support of Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, The Brain Tumour Charity and Maggie's
This evening brings together music, generosity and community in aid of three remarkable organisations supporting people affected by cancer.
In the beautiful setting of Holy Trinity Church, the concert will feature Sophie Bevan MBE (soprano), Damon Nestor Ploumis (bass baritone), Isolde Roxby (soprano), Lusine Yeghoyan (soprano), Richard Milnes (tenor) and the Holy Trinity Consort, conducted by Max Barley and accompanied by Nigel Foster (piano) and Makoto James (organ).
The evening will bring to you choral masterpieces by Britten (Rejoice in the Lamb) and Parry (Blest pair of Sirens), songs by Purcell, operatic arias and ensembles by Mozart, Gounod, Manon, Beethoven as well as favourites from West Side Story and Fiddler on teh Roof.
George Coates has been battling Brian the Brain Tumour since October 2024. He has taken the diagnosis in his stride and redoubled his efforts to make the most of his remaining time and has brought together a wonderful community through his love of music.
The 2025 Charity Concert at Holy Trinity Sloane Square raised £41,098 through ticket sales, food and drink sales, raffle prizes, sponsorships and donations which was split equally between the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and The Brain Tumour Charity. This year, we are repeating this fantastic event and hoping to hit a similar target, splitting the proceeds between the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, The Brain Tumour Charity and Maggie’s Cancer Care.
All donations are gratefully received and will be donated to charities which have directly helped our family. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in so many different ways!
