College students have been raising money for charity with a Christmas concert.

Money from the event, which took place in St Peter’s Church, Ipswich, was donated to the Make a Wish Foundation.

The students were all from Suffolk New College’s music department on level two and three courses and both arranged and performed at the concert.

The sell-out crowd were treated to a range of Christmas songs performed as solos and ensemble pieces.

Jo King, Programme Leader for Performing Arts and Music, said: “This was a fantastic way to end the first term of the year.

“It was a chance for students to demonstrate the skills they have learnt, have fun and raise money for a good cause.

“The students had all worked together in putting on this performance and it was a great opportunity for them to perform in front of a live, sit-down audience.”
