Music in Felixstowe July newsletter

We start the month with a new initiative – a series of lunchtime concerts given by talented young Suffolk musicians.
The youngest is harpist, Imogen Ridge aged 13 and the oldest are the 17 and 18 year olds, busy in the middle of their A levels.
The series starts with a lively performance by children from Kingsfleet Primary School here at Old Felixstowe. I regularly help with their singing practice and it’s a real pleasure to have them along to launch the series.

All the concerts are on Wednesday lunchtimes at St Andrew’s Church at 1.00pm and you are welcome to bring your lunch along – we’ll supply the drinks. There is no charge to come in but we will be having a retiring collection. The full list of concerts follows, plus the last three concerts in our Summer season. Please book on 01394 670633 for the concerts at Felixstowe Ferry – the Sailing Club and St Nicholas church – as both have a limited capacity. Read More...

Hello – I hope none of you got marooned abroad in the recent ash debacle. I had a 36 hour journey across Europe this week (9 trains and various buses, etc) My main worry was to get back in time for rehearsals with John Stafford, the pianist in our cello and piano recital next Sunday.
The programme opens with a lovely set of variations by Beethoven on a theme by Mozart. We then play the sonata by Benjamin Britten – a fantastic work where he experiments with the instruments to create some amazing effects. I last played this work about 15 years ago and the audience were knocked out by it.
To finish the programme we are playing the well-known F major sonata by Brahms – a work of great scope and dimension.
It being the Bank Holiday weekend I hope some of you will think that coming over to Felixstowe to hear such wonderful music is a good idea.
Sunday May 2nd at 3.00pm   St Andrew’s Church Felixstowe
