Available now! Baillie Duo LIVE CD

Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Erin in Homepage

Available now for purchase is the exclusive Baillie Duo LIVE CD. Alexander Baillie, renowned cellist, and son, Max Baillie performed a live concert last July in honour of THET.

THET was thrilled to have these two talented artists perform at the St Mary’s-at-Hill Church in London on 3 July, 2009. This magnificent concert has been captured on CD and is now available for your enjoyment. The Baillies have kindly donated the rights of the CD to THET, and all proceeds will go towards our vital work to improve global healthcare for some of the poorest communities in the world.

Here at THET, we receive so many requests for support from our partners overseas. Though we wish we could answer every call for help, without the proper funds to carry out the work, these needs go unmet. By purchasing this CD you will help us to ensure that health workers have the skills, knowledge and resources they need to deliver effective health services and improve healthcare for some of the poorest communities in the world. Support and purchase this wonderful CD by contacting us on 020 7290 3892 or info@thet.org.

Dear Listeners,

The concert we played and these recordings are our contributions to THET. Thank you for supporting this wonderful charity further by buying the CD. Do stay in touch!
