We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 10am and in May, the programme of music was presented by Roger. We began with ‘L’Estro Armonico Concerto No 10 in B Minor’ by Vivaldi (1678-1741). This was followed by the ‘Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis’ by Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) and the ‘Hungarian Dances’ by Brahms (1833-1828). After coffee we listened to the ’Symphony No 7 in E Major’ by Schubert (1797-1893). Thanks Roger for a mix of glorious music, though I think we were all emotionally ‘wrung out’ after the 65 minutes of the Schubert symphony! Our next meeting is on Tuesday, 20th June, when Peter will present a programme of music based around the theme of Summer. Peter Ellement.
