For those of you who were not able to join us last Sunday, here are Dave and Rob, otherwise known as The Reliables, as seen by our lovely ‘sketcher’ Alison Gardiner, perched in the front row of the audience with her trusty pad and pencil.
And here is a little taste of Dave and Rob along with their high tech ‘backing group’. Dave’s day job is as a programmer and during lockdown he created backing tracks with the other members of the group. This allowed them to operate during Covid as a twosome rather than a foursome. But they enjoyed this way of working so much that they have stuck with it!
Our Sunday lunchtime concerts will be taking a break over the summer but we expect to be back in October. Watch this space!
Upcoming concerts
Thursday 13th July – Thomas Hardy poems set to music
Some of Thomas Hardy’s most famous poems were written following the death of his first wife Emma from whom he had been estranged for 20 years. These lyric poems, expressingly deeply felt ‘regret and remorse’, are regarded as the peak of Hardy’s poetic achievement.
They inspired Australian mezzo soprano Lotte Betts-Dean – who, in turn inspired composer Arthur Keegan. The result is a song cycle which, together with guitarist James Girling, they are recording this autumn.
£28 to include buffet supper and wine – buy tickets here.
Saturday 9th September – The Voice Trio – Lighter Patterns of Love
On 9th September we are going back to Highgate School Chapel for a recital by the lovely Voice Trio, Victoria, Clemmie and Emily, who gave us such a wonderful evening devoted to Hildbrand of Bingen eighteen months ago.
The concert will start at 7 with a short interval for a (free) glass of wine in the quadrangle.
Ticket cost- £20 to include a glass of wine.
