We are delighted that we will have the film maker Sheila Hayman joining us. Sheila is Fanny Mendelssohn’s great, great grand daughter and a huge fan – and….. Shiela has just made a documentary about her – Fanny: The Other Mendelssohn with Isata Kanneh-Mason playing, among others, Queen Victoria’s piano. Check in to this article in Variety to learn more – but Shiela has also promised to talk to us about it.
And just to remind you – on Sunday evening Debbie, Poppy, Becky and Emma, the Hanover Square Quartet, will be playing:
Quartet in E Minor Emilie Mayer (1812-1883) 1851.
Quartet in F Minor Op. 80 Felix Mendelssohn
Quartet in Eb Major Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847)
Supper to follow will be an early 19th century buffet…… A Salamagundy (a much loved centrepiece), broad bean tarts, a large raised pie – and some very English Stilton.
