February Concert

What a great afternoon we had with Sounds Historical and their wonderful collection of instruments!  It was so good to see so many people there to welcome them…it certainly kept those of us on the committee on our toes, finding enough chairs, programmes and cups of tea. But judging by comments received a good time was had by all:

” what a great afternoon of glorious music!”

  “congratulations on organising an amazing concert!”

  “thank you all for your incredible work…you do a wonderful job…Worcester is lucky to have you!” 

“a Time Machine experience led by superb musicians…this is what great concerts are about!” 

And so we look forward now to Sunday April 6th when we hope to see a warm welcome extended to  Amyas who will perform their programme entitled “The Ghost in the Machine.”  Collecting recordings of music built into mechanical organs and clocks from the 18th Century, Emily Baines has found interesting interpretations of works still performed today, comparing for example ornamentation and other performance details not necessarily obvious in the written score.
