Icelandic choir melt audience with Summer Ice performance

Harmony 21

 

Singers from the Icelandic Nordurljos Ladies Choir joined voices with Harmony 21 in June for a heart melting Summer Ice performance at the Reid Memorial Church, Edinburgh.

 

The ladies were raising funds for The Royal Blind School, Edinburgh – a school that offers the highest quality of education and care for children and young people with little or no vision so that they become successful learners, responsible citizens, confident individuals and effective contributors to society. 

 

‘We enjoy raising funds for such a worthwhile service,’ said Maureen Blake, Harmony 21 singer. ‘and on this occasion It was an honour to have such special guests from Iceland for the concert.'
