Raising Money for the Spinal Injuries Association – Sarah Upjohn
Monday, January 10th, 2011Sarah Upjohn is raising money for the Spinal Injuries Association. She is one of 147 Cambridge musicians who started learning a completely new instrument on Jan 3rd. She explains:
On January 3rd I am taking up the flute, and on Feb 27th (eight short weeks later) I am sitting the Grade 1 exam. This ‘grade-one-a-thon’ is being organised by musicians around Cambridge, and we are raising money for the Spinal Injuries Association…….a cause close to our hearts, and in the front of our minds, as one of our local french horn players sustained a spinal cord injury earlier this year while doing a spot of DIY.
Sarah is the physiotherapist at the Purcell School, and she is also on the BAPAM directory, treating performing artists in the Cambridge area.
On February 27th the combined talents of the 147 musicians will be unleashed on an unprepared public in a Grade 1 orchestra concert: ‘Clueless in Concert’.
