Preetha Narayanan (violin) and Tara Franks (cello player and sister of Clemmie who, as a member of Voice Trio, sang at our wonderful Hildegard of Bingen concert in November) explore the sound potential of their two string instruments. Combining contemporary minimalism, Indian classical and folk, they will be playing all original repertoire from their albums ‘Relic’ and ‘Beyond Breath’.

So sorry indeed, Margaret – would have been lovely to see you. Michelle
Michelle! I present my apologies I shall be unable to attend any of the wonderful concerts this month! Called away to work outside London 12-22 June. I look forward to making up as the season progresses! Hilary
Shame Hilary! But when business calls. Will you be back for the 7th July and the first one in the house – with supper…? If so, I suggest you book up before you head off as there are not that many tickets left. M
