An evening not to be missed!

Contemporary Classical Singer Martin Aelred, who is fast becoming one of Scotland’s most loved opera performers, will be taking part in a concert on behalf of Alzheimer Scotland at the beautiful Glasgow Cathedral on Saturday 21st April 2012.

Before embarking on a sell-out tour of Scotland with his holiness the Dalia lama, Martin Aelred will lend his unique voice to support those affected by dementia across Scotland. ‘The Opera Experience’ is a unique event where song, dance and storytelling are combined to create an evening of entertainment to thrill both those who love opera and those who soon will.
