tracy.crowther

‘Letter to Alderney’ will feature.

David Rees Williams-Piano. Iain Ballamy-Saxophones. Alison Teale-Oboe & Cor Anglais. Ian Crowther-Oboe.

Anyone who has visited Alderney will appreciate that it is a very special Island evoking a great sense of peace, tranquility and sense of community. During my first visit I was very surprised by the Silence, the illumination of the Stars plus the great community spirit.

Our programme this evening will endeavour to capture the above through a musical tapestry. ‘Alderney Song’ will definately be performed along with other emotive pieces.

Will be a special occasion.

Venue. St Pauls Church, Church street St Pauls, Canterbury CT11NH

Start. 6 pm with interval. Refreshments included with ticket.
