If you came to Grace’s piano recital last year, we are sure that you will not wish to miss her return visit to Tillingham on Friday 24th June.

If you did not hear her last year then do come this year. Whatever your musical tastes, you will be enthralled by the virtuosity and complete musical involvement of this most unassuming but powerful soloist.

We are also promoting the Neil Cowley Jazz Trio, a music group playing modern jazz, they tour world - wide and last year appeared at Ronnie Scott’s in London.

So here are two gold standard events on the doorstep at very reasonable prices. Unmissable!
                                                                             …………………..Artistic Director

 

In the last Newsletter I referred to the challenge of balancing fine performances with the modest cost at which we strove and I am astonished at what our Artistic Director has managed to achieve this year. I trust you will agree that the myriad bargain offers with which we are inundated via the media pale into insignificance compared to our ticket prices. You might ask how do we do it? While I cannot be sure I suspect dark, mystic arts are sometimes brought into play - but by whom I know not.
