Singer-songwriter Laura Mvula, West End actress Julie Atherton, X-Factor finalists Lloyd Daniels and Niki Evans and Britain’s Got Talent stars Escala will perform alongside a host of other artists for an evening of music and dance in aid of Alice’s Youth Music Memorial Fund.

Founded following the disappearance and murder of London schoolgirl, Alice Gross last August, Alice’s Youth Music Memorial Fund was set up by her family to contribute to the work of the National Foundation for Youth Music in her memory.

The one-off concert – produced by Forecast Academy, a performing arts school where Alice was a student – will be held at The Ambassadors Theatre on Tuesday 21 July 2015.

Forecast co-founder Oliver Boito explains, "Forecast was launched through a passion for inspiring and training the next generation of creative young talent. Alice was a treasured part of our Forecast family, whose loss profoundly affected us all. A Concert for Alice is a celebration of her life; taking our ethos of bringing professionals and students together, whilst having the opportunity to support the wonderful Youth Music fund her parents set-up in her memory."

Tickets are now on sale via www.theambassadorstheatre.co.uk or through the Box Office on 08448 112 334.
