Registered Charity No 288007

We meet in members’ homes, at 2 o’clock on the first Thursday in the month, and we would welcome new members  - a very pleasant friendly way to spend an afternoon. We are aiming to enjoy, and hopefully understand a little more, a wide range of music; this has included so far Classical, Jazz, Opera, Light Music, and Christmas Carols; some programmes have been based on a composer, others on a musical instrument, some on a musical period, while others have been chosen freely by one member.                                                     

                            MUSIC PROGRAMME

MUSIC CIRCLE

As usual, the Music Circle brings new and unfamiliar music to us. At the February meeting we heard Arias from Puccini’s “The Pearl Fishers”, and “The Bell Song” from “Lakme” with Joan Sutherland – remembered for ever as the BA theme song.

John Shipperlee started his chosen records for Private Passions by reminiscing on his school days listening to Family Favourites with Harry Secombe’s Napolitan songs, and then, in total contrast, came a fine rolling presentation of Spike Jones “Cocktails for Two”. On the serious side we heard arias from Gluck’s “Orfeo”, Gregorian Chants, Carmina Burana and finally Imogen Cooper playing a Chopin Sonata – a fine ending to a most interesting choice. We look forward to the next “Private Passions”.

We still have space for a few new members.
