Music on a Sunday Afternoon

 Dear Friends

The Sacconi Festival starts this Friday 14 March with a bang - a wonderful concert culminating with a performance of Mendelssohn's Octet by the combined Sacconi and Badke Quartets.

If you are anywhere near a radio tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, the Sacconi will be interviewed on Radio Three's 'In Tune' programme at about 6. 15. They will be talking about the Festival and playing live in the studio.

Listen in and tell your friends.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday and over the weekend.

Three Cities Association 25th Anniversary Concert

The Associatiion links Canterbury here in Kent with Bloomington, Illinois in the US and Vladimir in Russia.

The 2010 tour will be visiting Folkestone on Tuesday 9 June with a concert in the church of SS Mary & Eanswythe at 7.30pm.

Finally I am sorry to say that the Classics Arts Trio concert on Sunday 23 May has had to be cancelled.

The performers have to be back in Germany (one in Bavaria) on Monday morning and cannot therefore present the concert and travel home in time.

I am hoping to confirm a date for them in early September.

Thank you all for your support and interest in our concert series.

Please let your musical friends know about these wonderful concerts and the changes noted in this message.
