2009年11月28日 - 室内楽コンサートOCDの行動の援助
This concert was held at St Edward the Confessor Church, Golders Green and was an opportunity for me to play with friends from the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Liz Burley, piano, Frances Dewar, violin, Mary Whittle, viola and Mark Sheridan, ‘cello made up our quintet and the programme was a nice one, I think - with Schubert’s Adagio and Rondo for piano quartet, Mendelssohn’s piano trio in D minor, and Dvorak’s piano quintet in A major. There was a big and appreciative audience there and a decent sum was raised for OCD Action and the Alzheimer’s Society. OCD Action is the largest OCD charity in the UK and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a subject close to my heart as I was diagnosed with severe OCD in 2006 having lived with it for as long as I can remember. Like a lot of mental illness, OCD seems to either be misunderstood or stigmatised but it is in the World Health Organisation’s list of the ten most debilitating illnesses and many people that suffer from it are struggling to cope.
I’m hoping to do more concerts in the future and raise more money for OCD Action. If you would like to look at OCD Action’s website click on this link www.ocdaction.org.uk/
