The Amalthea Ensemble will be performing a concert in St. Deiniol's Church, Itton at 19:30 on Thursday 13th June 2024.

The concert is part of the ensemble's UK tour in aid of Joy of Learning, a charity that aims to give children in Uganda the education they deserve.

The ensemble is made up of cellist Alice Cheer and flautist Meg Diamond, and they will be joined by Joy of Learning founder Emily Cheer for this leg of the tour. Come along for an evening of varied music, a short presentation about the charity and a Ugandan Craft Stall, and help us to change the lives of hundreds of children through Joy of Learning. Join them for a wonderful evening, helping to change the lives of hundreds of children.

Joy of Learning (charity no: 1194700) was set up in 2021 to support children who have been resettled with members of their extended families after living at Sanyu Babies’ Home in Uganda. Sanyu Babies’ Home cares for orphaned and abandoned children aged from 1 day to 4 years old, with the primary aim of resettling the children with family members or, where that is not possible, finding them a local foster family.

Joy of Learning seeks to enable reunited children and their siblings to attend school by finding Educational Sponsors to support each child’s education. As well as this, Joy of Learning makes sure that each family’s basic needs are met by providing food, clothing, hygiene products and medical support where needed. Joy of Learning is a unique charity and the families it supports live all over Uganda.

Tickets will be available on the door and cost £10 (free for 12 year olds and under).
