No1 Classical Singer Joanna Forest Honours Rugby Coach and Police Officer Matt Ratana’s Memory with Moving Rugby Release ‘World in Union (2020)’
As members of East Grinstead RFC try to come to terms with the loss of their friend and Head Coach, Matt Ratana, who was tragically killed in the line of duty in September 2020, No1 Classical Crossover artist Joanna Forest has recorded a poignant version of ‘World In Union (2020)’ to commemorate his life and offer a moment of reflection on a life well lived.
Joanna Forest, an award winning, multiple number one soprano has come out to honour Matt and to support East Grinstead RFC and the world-wide rugby community by recording a beautiful version of a well-known rugby anthem, musically arranged by the talented pianist and friend, Joel Goodman.
The song, ‘World In Union (2020)’ will be released on the 20 November 2020, under the record label ‘Matt Ratana Music’. To pre order or pre save the single (available from 6 November 2020), click here https://slinky.to/WorldInUnion
All money raised from the song will go to The Matt Ratana Rugby Foundation, a fund within The Atlas Foundation, a UK registered charity number 1161179 from which it receives financial and non-financial support. The aims are simple – to change life experiences through Rugby harnessing the power of the game to make a positive, lasting impact on individuals’ lives, developing skills and strengthening communities. Something that Matt did every day of his 54 years of life. https://www.mattratanarugby.foundation
Matt has earned the admiration of the world and his legacy will live on forever.
Kia Kaha.
