We are delighted to present the world premiere of Eye to Eye, a special commission by celebrated composer Patrick Hawes for The St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group, which will be performed by the internationally renowned English Chamber Orchestra. This special event will combine modern with classical, celebrity with tradition and promises to be a very special evening celebrating the charitable work of the hospital. The St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group is the only charitable provider of eye care in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. A peace orientated and Christian based organization, we advocate strong interfaith relationships and our supporters include both Jewish and Muslim institutions. We treat patients regardless of ethnicity, religion or ability to pay.
