Demand St Martin-in-the-Fields reverse decision to cast out loyal musicians

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

For 30 years our orchestras and choirs have brought joy to thousands of people and raised millions of pounds to support the work of St Martin-in-the-Fields and the homeless. Now in the midst of a global pandemic with no consultation we have been informed by email that concerts will be in-house only

We call on Parliamentarians of all faiths and none to support our call for St Martin-in-the-Fields to immediately stop, reflect and reverse a decision which will cause severe hardship for hundreds of musicians in numerous orchestras and choirs who have served and supported St Martin-in-the-Fields faithfully for three decades. This abrupt and dismissive action is callous and un-Christian. It will reduce the viability of hundreds of musicians’ freelance work and put many orchestras out of business

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
