From Charlotte's brother, Tim - an account of a family birthday celebration donated to Charlotte's Helix:
 SoEun Jeon, Tim, and Gina The artists performed several pieces but one at a time, in rotation led by Soprano Steedley Wills, then classical guitarist Giordano Moriconi and Marco Africani, a pianist who played several of his own compositions.  Giordano Moriconi | "On October 16th Gina Steedley Wills donated her 40 somethingth (!) birthday to Charlotte’s Helix. A musical evening celebrated young local talent in the depths of rural Italy where Gina lives with her family. About 50 people enjoyed an apertivo and heard about the work of Charlotte’s Helix from Tim, Charlotte’s brother. The music and singing was led by soprano SoEun Jeon who lives in scenic Moresco, which has the reputation of being one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.  Giordano Moriconi and Steedley Wills These three are all at senior school. The audience were impressed by the extremely high levels of performance and inspired by the results of the talent, hard work and passion of these young people.  Marco Africani |
Two other young people, Hamish and George Wills ensured the evening flowed smoothly by organising the parking, which is not simple in Italy, and helping with the 'apertivi'.
 Hamish, Steedley and George Wills | Charity events are rare in Italy and people tend to donate via the church or through individual support, so it was highly encouraging that Gina’s birthday raised 200 pounds for Charlotte’s Helix." Many thanks, and Bravo!, to all involved. |
