Fundraising Events
CVI Fundraising Concert
(20 minute video)
This video shows some of the content from a CVI fundraising concert in May 2023. The CVI Song was performed by Alex Goskirk (soprano), Cirta Tooth (viola) and Louis Levelt (piano) and also by the choir from Edinburgh Young Musicians. The lyrics of the song come from Professor Gordon Dutton, who wrote the poem to encourage families of children with CVI. Louis Levelt subsequently produced a version for soprano, viola and piano as well as for a youth choir. A few other performances are recorded as well.
The link to The CVI Society website takes you to the poem.
