Information

Hopefully everyone has had a relaxing break and is itching to flex their musical muscles in what is likely to be an interesting and lively programme.  Sadly the tone for the 'summer' weather was set at our last rendezvous in Stephen's garden -- though despite the rain it was a great evening and our thanks to Stephen for hosting the event.

Fortunately the sun emerged for the musical entertainment!

Next Concert

Saturday November 27th 2010, 7.30 pm

St Peter's Methodist Church, Canterbury CT1 2BE

Our next concert has a strong French flavour.  It begins with the colourful and exciting symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas inspired by Goethe's ballad of the same name, The Sorcerer's Apprentice.  This is followed by Suite no.2 of orchestral music from Bizet's Carmen, which was put together after the composer's death by Ernest Guiraud and largely features the famous arias.  The final piece is Saint-Saens Symphony no.3, a work written at the height of his creativity, which makes unusual use of piano and organ as part of the orchestral texture.  Tickets are £8.50 for adults and only £2.50 for children of school age and students.  They are available on the door, from the Secretary on 01227 751196, and online through WeGotTickets by clicking on the button below..
