The Verdun Allen Music Foundation offers short courses on the lives and works of famous composers and periods of musical history. Individual instrumental lessons can also be arranged. During May we raised £1500 for the Mustard Tree COVID-19 Crisis Fund. In June some donations will also go to the work of Manchester Buddhist Centre.
