Back in the 1980’s Margaret Hale-Owens sang as a guest soloist at weddings and with orchestras and choirs, to raise funds for the Luton and South Beds Hospice. Following the loss of a good friend and benefactor of the hospice, Marjorie Steel, Margaret instigated a Millennium Memorial Project, in memory of both Marjorie and Arthur Davies MBE, founder and musical Director of The Luton Girls’ Choir, of which Margaret had been a part during her youth. The project involved creating an 18 track album entitled ‘Music in my Heart’ which raised a magnificent £21,000 for what was by then The Pasque Charity.
The creation of Pasque Harmony, to support the work of The Pasque Hospice, came in 2003 when Margaret Hale-Owens and choristers Wendy Beck, Lynda Davies, Alison Nicol and Wendy Welburn approached the Chairman of the Pasque Charity and on referral to the trustees it was agreed they would form the choir. At the time, this was the first choir in the country to be affiliated to a hospice.
