2019 CONCERT SEASON HAS STARTED

Now that we are heading into winter the season of concerts has started.  We have enjoyed 2 so far since we have moved from summer activities to winter.  

Clare Hammond, seriously fine pianist, played to a full audience on Friday.  Yes, we attend to meet and greet and this evening was no different. 

Rimsky Korsakov, Flight of the Bumblebee... she knows how to play up a storm, or should I say, a 'swarm' of bees!


Last month was the Esme Quartet from South Korea but based in Germany. 

Like so many of the artistes who visit, they arrive off the plane from far distant cities, having probably played previously the same day.  It's  a hard life!

We like to think they get a good welcome. However our northern latitude weather can be a bit disconcerting especially when you have to strap a cello to your back and pull a suitcase behind you!

Beth Taylor who lives locally is a mezzo soprano and is someone who is definitely going places.
