Quotes About Sunbeams

 

Our patron Vicki Green wrote, "The concert was a wonderful mixture of enthusiasm and joy, and everyone was swept along with exhilaration at the delight of those taking part. It was not about pure, perfect music-making, although that was there, but about celebrating individual creativity and courage. We must never underestimate how much it takes to stand and perform and the years of encouragement and building of self esteem that have led up to this performance. The concert was not only a celebration of the power of music to heal and renew, but also a wonderful opportunity to be rightly proud of each and everyone of its participants. This is the magic of Sunbeams, which enriches anyone who is lucky enough to share its vision."


Judy - one of our volunteers says, "I have had the immense pleasure and privilege of seeing The Sunbeams Music Trust at work at a number of their music workshops and at some of their concerts.

I cannot imagine a more dedicated, hard-working and caring group of people who each bring to the Trust exceptional skills, be that musically or otherwise.

The effect on the people in the workshops or concerts has to be seen to be believed.  The whole atmosphere is one of absolute joy and a sharing of happiness - often in the face of tremendous disabilities.

I know that because of financial backing they have been able to go to many more venues than previously.  These visits must mean as much, not only to the participants, but also to the parents and carers.  They must see not only the happiness the sessions bring but also how they help to develop the confidence of the individuals and the ability to mix with and communicate with others.

The music brings a different dimension into so many peoples lives.  It is a joy to see, and it would be so sorely missed."
