An evening with Tony Hall
Saturday 21st November at 7pm (doors open 6.30pm)
Whitchurch Canonicorum Village Hall
Tony Hall (Lord Hall of Birkenhead) is the patron of the Friends of St Candida. He was Director-General of the BBC from 2013 to 2020 and Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, from 2001 to 2013. He is currently Chair of the Woodland Trust and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Natural History Museum. Tony and his wife, Cynthia, have been great supporters of FoSC’s work.
During this very special event, Tony will be choosing a selection of music and chatting with FoSC Secretary Betsy West about his life and career. There will be time for audience questions.
This is a free event although donations to FoSC will be very welcome (cash or card). There will be a cash bar.
