Aivale Cole is a world-renowned Samoan soprano who has sung all over the globe over two decades; most recently performing at the 2025 Commonwealth Celebration in Westminster Abbey. After studying music in New Zealand and Australia she has spent her career featuring in a vast number of Opera productions, including title role in Aida and Madam Butterfly with Western Australian Opera. Aivale was also honoured to attended HM Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral in 2022 representing New Zealand Arts and Culture.

Aivale has generously offered to host this fundraising concert on Friday 18th July, at St Paul’s Church, Brentford.
Join us and her friends for a phenomenal evening of music; singing some of her favourite Jazz Standards made popular by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and more.
The concert will start at 7pm with a drinks reception and canapes.
There will be paid bar, and a raffle with the chance to win some fabulous high-ticket items including a signed Brentford FC shirt and a fully paid day-course at Hen Corner of your choosing (eg bee-keeping, cheese making, bread making, pick-and-pickle).
Come and join us for a night not to be missed!
After covering costs, every penny will be put into the fundraiser to reach our goal of £12,000 for solar panels for our church roof. The church building is used every day for community activities and this will help generate energy to power these activities.
Any funds raised beyond our goal will go towards establishing a Community Pantry at St Faith’s Church in North Brentford, helping to reduce food waste and support local residents in need.
