Lenny Trusler Children's Foundation

We're done! Our campaign has now ended, and thanks to you we've raised well over our target, something we never imagined happening. We are massively grateful to everyone who has supported this, from the 30 creators to the 53 backers on Kickstarter, this has been a true collaboration. And all to raise money for the Lenny Trusler Children's Foundation.

Thank you!

The official Wonderland Kickstarter campaign has been live for just four days and has already raised 99% of our total goal!

Please continue to show this amazing support as the more money we raise, the more we can give to our cause.

Year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, one of the great works of children’s literature. 13 internationally renowned composers have been asked by pianist Ashley Wass and violinist Matthew Trusler to write short pieces for each chapter. Wonderland will be released on Orchid Classics in November 2015. All profits from the release will go to the Lenny Trusler Children’s Foundation.

The 13 composers who are writing music for the Wonderland project are: Roxanna Panufnik, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Howard Blake, Stuart MacRae, Poul Ruders, Sally Beamish, Carl Davis, Stephen Hough, Richard Dubugnon, Ilya Gringolts, Colin Matthews, Gwilym Simcock, Augusta Read Thomas.

The music will be performed by pianist Ashley Wass and violinist Matthew Trusler.

The Lenny Trusler Children's Foundation would like to thank the members of the Orchestre de Paris who took part in our "77" campaign. The goal of the campaign was to raise €777 by selling 77 CDs to remember the 7th anniversary of Lenny. In the end we sold 115 CDs and raised over €1300 in total for the foundation. Merci mille tout le monde et vive l'Orchestre de Paris!
