Preparations have been underway in earnest for the Christmas Concert this term which will take place at All Saint’s Church, Hoole on Saturday 3rd December, 2011 starting at 11am. The programme will feature seasonal solos and duets and I hope to conclude with a bit of audience participation!

Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child and can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal below.

Funds raised from the concert tickets will continue to support a lesson bursary for a student at Kampala Music School, Uganda

The student in question is no longer Betina as she has been too busy with the pressure of school work to continue her studies on the violin, however the bursary fund has been transferred to a new student called Justus. I hope to be able to furnish you with more details in the programme at the forthcoming concert.

“Playing Together” on Saturday 18th June, 2011 at 10:30am at Upton Village Hall, and
“Ludus Cantiones” on Saturday 25th June, 2011 at 11am at St. Columba’s Hall.

At “Playing Together” you can expect a programme of piano and instrumental solos, piano duets and other small ensembles.

“Ludus Cantiones” translates as play sing, reflecting the vocal and choral content of the programme alongside piano solos and ensembles. We are looking forward to welcoming the Chester Music Society Youth Choir and Preludes to sing in this concert.

Both concerts should last no more than an hour.

Funds raised from the concert tickets will continue to support a lesson bursary for Betina, a student at Kampala Music School, Uganda

Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child for either concert. A special price of £5/adult for both concerts is also available. They can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal

Following the usual presentations, the concert this term, themed “Playing Together” will feature only ensemble items, piano duets and accompaniments following requests and suggestions from previous concerts. Performers will be receiving invitation letters starting this week and it would be really helpful if the reply slips could be returned by half term at the latest.

Tickets cost £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £1 for performers and proceeds will continue to provide lessons for Betina, a student at Kampala Music School. Tickets may be purchased using the paypal cart below or by request from Will Hay and will be printed at the start of next week.
