Westminster Abbey Thanksgiving Service, 30th March 2011
Testimonies:
“With everyone else involved in the arrangements for the Thanksgiving Service held at Westminster Abbey on 30th March to mark the 40th anniversary of the coming into effect of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970, I am most deeply grateful to Claire Michelet, William Carslake and the London Charity Orchestra as a whole for their participation in this historic event. They were superb on the day and most generous in their support. They have my heartfelt thanks.”
Rt. Hon Lord Morris of Manchester, AO QSO
“The London Charity Orchestra was the perfect choice for our Thanksgiving Service at Westminster Abbey. From my initial enquiry through to the performance on the day, I found the Orchestra as a whole friendly, efficient and exceptionally talented. They were asked to learn a new piece for the Service and were clearly well rehearsed on the day. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chair Claire Michelet, the conductor William Carslake, and all those involved with the Orchestra, for their kind support, professionalism and for an outstanding performance. I will certainly contact the LCO for any future events and would encourage others to assist this special charity to keep ‘music making a difference’.”
