A concert and dance evening with the Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra, the Leamington & Warwick Academy of Dance and AQDA, raising funds for the Coventry Foodbank.
Coventry Cathedral is hosting a performance of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals on Monday 9 November, with the evening threading music and dance through the piece alongside other works. It's a local bill: the Leamington & Warwick Academy of Dance (LWAD), the Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra, and AQDA are all taking part, so you'll see dancers and musicians sharing the stage rather than one following the other.
There's a bit more to it than just the music. The night is a fundraiser and a tribute to two charities hitting milestone anniversaries: 21 years for Feed The Hungry UK and 15 years for Coventry Foodbank, two organisations that have provided a lifeline to thousands of families facing hardship. The whole evening is framed as a thank-you to everyone who makes the foodbank possible, so it's as much about the community behind the scenes as the performance on stage. The concert is staged in partnership with the cathedral, Coventry Foodbank, and LeSEA Global Feed the Hungry.
