MUSIC CIRCLE UPDATE

​

​

The Autumn series opened with a packed church to hear Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Plinio Fernandes. As our reviewer said ‘A stunning musical partnership’ and we were certainly treated to exquisite playing from both artists. This was followed by the elegance and virtuosity displayed at the ‘Musique de Chambre’ Baroque evening and we expect inspired innovation from 'One of the world's great improvisers'  Harry the Piano later this month. His extensive knowledge of piano repertoire and formidable technique combined with sharp humour and inventiveness characterises his performances.  However, we are making an early start presenting our offering for the Spring series 2024.  We open in January with another big name in the music world - THE KING'S SINGERS - proven to be one of the most successful vocal sextets on the planet! and continue in March and May with recital programmes offering much loved works from the repertoire.  See the What’s On page for all the details.

​

Just a reminder - 

​

To complete the autumn series NOVEMBER 25th at St Mary's Church 7pm brings a return visit from HARRY THE PIANO for his seventh solo appearance here. His first full solo cabaret show was in Horsham’s Capitol Theatre, at the Music Circle’s invitation, since then it has travelled the world. Lauded by Classic FM as ‘one of the world’s great improvisors he has headlined at festivals, played on the QM2’s maiden voyage along with Dame Shirley Bassey, appeared on Radio 2 and 4, and is the go-to improvisor on Radio 3 where presenter Iain Burnside said ‘ you can’t be a pianist and not be a fan’. During lockdown Harry recorded a tune a day in a series entitled ‘Lockdown Blues’ which eventually ran to 300 songs described by Classic FM as ‘miraculous creativity’.
