Edward
was at Kings School, Bruton, with Alex when he died in January
2004, aged 17 years.
The friends of
Alex have continued to hold events in his memory, and Edward
wanted to donate the proceeds from his first solo recital to CRY
in Alex’s memory.
Edward is now in
his third undergraduate year at the Royal Northern College of
Music in Manchester, where he studies with Colin Iveson. He has
performed in many operas and concerts at the college, and is now
starting on his solo career.
The recital of
songs varied from Purcell, Handel and Bellini to English songs
by Butterworth and Vaughan Williams, and was attended by nearly
100 people, including the parents and sister of Alex.
A total of
£400 was raised and donated to CRY.
