We are delighted to announce that our sell out concert on 2nd April 2022 raised £600 for the York based charity Survive.
The event featured the world premiere of a piece called A New Anthem by euphonium player Tracey McGuire, composed in response to the murder of Sarah Everard who was kidnapped, raped and killed by a serving police officer in Clapham, London, when she was walking home. Sarah grew up in York and the concert was attended by a group of students from Fulford School in York, which was Sarah’s old school. As a band we felt strongly that we wanted to put a focus on violence against women and girls through our music. It was important for us to make an impact and the profits of the concert will make a real difference to local adult survivors of sexual abuse. Listen to A New Anthem by Femmes Fortissimo. |
