During the pandemic Chloé’s engagements were all cancelled or postponed, as were most artistic events. She therefore decided to perform weekly concerts from her balcony at home singing an array of opera arias and songs. She gave these weekly concerts for walkers and passersby for 10 weeks during the lockdown and raised over £2000 for the Leckhampton Sue Ryder Foundation.
