Recital for Research

The Event

Recital for Research is an intimate evening of opera, song and sublime music, organised to celebrate the latest advances in cancer research whilst fundraising to support the essential on-going work of leading cancer specialists in combating this disease.

Bringing together some of the finest singers from across the globe to support a cause benefiting people throughout the world, the artists who perform at R4R generously donate their time in aid of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and they hope that via donations and participating in the silent auction you will also support the vital work the charity does.


R4R Event Patron

Sir Antonio Pappano

I am honoured to be Patron of the R4R series of events as I care passionately about the way in which music can bring us together to enrich and improve our lives. How fitting therefore that, through your support for this event, we can take this a step further by funding vital research at The Royal Marsden Hospital to help improve treatments and find cures for cancer.

We have all been impacted by cancer at some point in our lives I have no doubt, affecting family, friends or colleagues. It brings me great joy to know that via the R4R events, through the power of music, we can ensure that doctors and researchers have the resources they need to tackle this disease for the benefit of all in our generation and those to come.
