CLASSIC RESPONSE is a one-night performance, set to fill London?s Royal Albert Hall, on Saturday, 3 April, with a night of entertainment by leading classic musicians to raise thousands for the aid work carried out by SOS Children in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.
The concert marks the UK?s classic music community?s convergence to raise awareness and funds for victims of natural disaster and disease. In 2005, CLASSIC RESPONSE saw G4, Russell Watson and Julian Lloyd-Webber, among many others, raising funds in the wake of the Asian Tsunami and again, in 2006 to help children orphaned by AIDS in Africa.
ALL performance fees have been waived for the event in order to maximise the funds raised through ticket sales which can then be used in whole to support the work of SOS Children in their Haiti Earthquake appeal.
SOS Children is the world?s largest orphan charity and has worked for 60-years providing family-based care for children who would otherwise be alone. The charity currently operates in some 124 countries, with around 78,000 children living in their care and around 1million directly supported in the local communities where they work with schools, medical centres and family strengthening programmes.
In Haiti, the needs of a child who has lost their family and homes, destroyed by the earthquake, extend long beyond immediate medical and trauma care. SOS Children is a well established charity in Haiti since 1978 and prior to the earthquake already required 800 child sponsorships, for children orphaned by tropical storms, unrest, poverty and disease. With staff on-the-ground, they are one of the first charities to offer assistance and they guarantee to spend 100% of all proceeds generated by this appeal helping in Haiti, with absolutely no deductions for UK costs such as administration or fundraising.
