A TALENTED singer from Malvern is hoping to sell more tickets for a charity concert to raise funds to help sick and injured police officers.

Zara Rose Edwards, aged 21 years, the daughter of a retired police officer, is organising a charity classical music concert in Malvern in aid of the Police Rehabilitation Centre Flint House in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Flint House is decorated with framed prints created by her father, the celebrated police cartoonist 'Jedd' who still lives in Malvern and produced cartoons for the Police Federation magazine.

The concert is to be held at Great Malvern Priory, Malvern, Worcestershire on May 16 at 7pm.

It will be a classical music concert of popular classics including Elgar, Franz Lehar, Dvorak, Bernstein and more.

Soloists including Miss Edwards will be performing alongside instrumentalists and the West Mercia Police Band.

Lord Geoffrey Dear will be giving the opening address. Miss Edwards is a soprano and at present doing a music degree at university.

She attended Malvern St James Girls School where she was head of the school choir, performing on several occasions at Great Malvern Priory and at numerous venues in the UK and on choir tours abroad, singing in the Notre Dame and Disney World Paris, Rome, Florence, Prague and Vienna.
