Tickets are now on sale for a winter showcase of international music and dance held to raise money for the mayor of Merton’s charities.

Musicians of all ages from Merton Music Foundation and the local community will perform an eclectic mix of instrumental and choral music from around the globe to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures in our borough.

There will be Irish folk songs, Indian dance music, Polish music, steel bands and big band swing to get the audience’s feet tapping.

The event will raise money for the mayor’s charities the Avanti Club and Age UK Merton.

The mayor of Merton, Councillor Brenda Fraser, said: “The Winter Warmer concert promises to be a fantastic celebration of international music and I would urge as many people as possible to book tickets to avoid disappointment.

“Money raised from the event will go to my two chosen charities – the Avanti Club and Age UK Merton.”

The mayor of Merton’s Winter Warmer concert will be held on Saturday 28 January from 6pm to 9pm at St Mark’s Academy in Acacia Road, Mitcham. Tickets cost £6, with children under five going free.
