Edinburgh Charity Orchestra's inaugural concert will feature Mahler's epic first symphony alongside the ever popular second piano concerto by Rachmaninov and three short pieces by local composer Jake Spence. Come along for a night of fantastic music and help raise money for a great cause. Edinburgh Charity Orchestra is a new group set up to perform large scale concerts in order to raise money for and awareness about the work of local charities. The orchestra is invitation only and mixes professionals with some of the best student and amateur players in Edinburgh.

This concert is being given in support of The Yard, the only purpose built indoor and outdoor adventure play facility for disabled children in Scotland. It is run by a team of specialist play workers who inspire, guide and support the children who visit. The Yard’s unique community environment offers fun and friendship and encourages children to explore, be challenged and be themselves. You can find out more about it at www.theyardscotland.org.uk
