PROGRAMME FOR SAINT CECILIA CONCERT

It is possible you might like to know what to expect on Friday evening.

I shall play piano, organ and, maybe, a sampled sound harpsichord (if I can get it to work!)  And you have been warned -  I shall sing a little. And so shall you. We should have a good time and raise some more money for the organ. In case you tire of my warbling and yours we shall have a few moments pleasure while Mary Morgan sings a Britten song.
