About Young Epilepsy Young Epilepsy is a wonderful charity with one simple mission; to create better futures for all 112,000 young people aged 25 and under living with epilepsy in the UK. Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in childhood, with double the number of children living with epilepsy than diabetes. It is an unpredictable, disorientating and distressing condition and the impact is profound - particularly on a child’s memory and learning. There are over 40 types of epilepsy, often associated with other neurological disorders and sadly, on average every week, two children will die. No other organisation has the breadth of knowledge and experience of childhood epilepsy that we have. Our Surrey campus is home to world-leading professors in paediatric epilepsy; epilepsy specialist nurses; specialist teaching staff; therapists and psychologists. Our campus is also home to our residential school and college where we support young people whose epilepsy is so complex they need a tailored education, within reach of our world class medical centre. We ensure every student fulfils their potential, but our current school is no longer fit for purpose, so we must raise £10m to build a new one. Young Epilepsy also offers support to parents and runs outreach programmes like Epilepsy Education 4 Schools, our exciting education programme, which is already saving and changing lives across South East England. We simply cannot support children and families, organise such a fantastic range of projects, or build our new £10m school that our children desperately need, without donations. This is why we are so grateful to Grange Park Opera for its generous decision to make us their Charity of the Year. With their support we can increase awareness of young people with epilepsy and by buying tickets for this fabulous evening, you will not only be enjoying Eugene Onegin in these unique surroundings, you will help us build our new school!

  • Sally Matthews Is Magnificent
    ` DVORAK Rusalka, Glyndebourne Festival, Robin Ticciati. DVD Opus Arte Sally Matthews is magnificent. During the Act II court ball her moral and social confusion is palpable. And her sorrowful return to the lake in the last act to be reviled by her water sprite sisters would melt the winter ice. Christopher Cook, BBC Music Magazine, November 2020 Sally Matthews’ Rusalka is sung with a smoky soprano that has surprising heft given its delicacy, and the Prince is Evan LeRoy Johnson, who combines an ardent tenor with good looks. They have great chemistry between them and the whole cast is excellent. Opera Now, November-December 2020 SCHUMANN Paradies und die Peri, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paolo Bortolameolli Matthews is noted for her interpretation of the demanding role of the Peri and also appears on one of its few recordings, with Rattle conducting. The soprano was richly communicative in the taxing vocal lines, which called for frequent leaps and a culminating high C … Her most rewarding moments occurred in Part III, particularly in “Verstossen, verschlossen” (“Expelled again”), as she fervently Sally Matthews vowed to go to the depths of the earth, an operatic tour-de-force. Janelle Gelfand, Cincinnati Business Courier, December 2019 Soprano BARBER Two Scenes from Anthony & Cleopatra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Juanjo Mena This critic had heard a fine performance of this music by Matthews and Mena at the BBC Proms in London in 2018, but their performance here on Thursday was even finer. Looking suitably regal in a glittery gold form-fitting gown, the British soprano put her full, vibrant, richly contoured voice fully at the service of text and music.
