Sat 1st June: Mozart, Mendelssohn and Schubert piano works (recital)

In a change from the published programme, we are pleased this week to welcome back pianist John Bryden to our recital series. He will be performing piano works by Mozart, Schubert and Mendelssohn, including selections from Mendelssohn's sublime Songs Without Words.

The recital of clarinet works with Tim Bossanyi, accompanied by Cleo Loi on piano has unfortunately had to be postponed to a later date due to an injury sustained by Cleo; we wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming them both back to a performance at a future recital series.

The recital begins at 1.00pm, and as ever entry to the recitals is free, with a retiring collection taken to support our performers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing Organ Redevelopment Fund. We hope to see you there!

Sat 25th May: "It's complicated" - love in opera and art song (recital)

This Saturday we're pleased to welcome mezzo-soprano Ami Walsh to our recital series. Ami's programme, "It's complicated", is a whirlwind tour of how love has been represented in music through the ages, from the comic to the tragic, on both the opera stage and in the recital hall. She will be singing well-known works by Brahms, Donizetti, Dring, Stravinsky and Verdi, to name but a few. Ami will be accompanied by pianist Gina Kruger.

The recital begins at 1.00pm, and as ever entry to the recitals is free, with a retiring collection taken to support our performers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing Organ Redevelopment Fund. We hope to see you there!
