These once or twice monthly Friday afternoon sessions organised by Barry Millington have become seriously popular. They are at 2.30 and complimentary tea and biscuits follow. Admission is £2 for Fellowship Members and £4 for non Members. February programme details as follows:
Friday 7th March 2.30pm
Sarkis Zakarian
The Bulgarian pianist Sarkis Zakarian has achieved celebrity as both performer and teacher since settling in Britain several years ago. He has given recitals at the Wigmore Hall, at the Carnegie Hall in New York, and at prestigious venues in Berlin and elsewhere in Europe. He teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, University College School in Hampstead and Durston House School in Ealing. He will talk about and play pieces by Chopin
Friday 28th March 2.30pm
Stephen Brown
The tenor and conductor Stephen Brown returns to Fellowship to talk about the more serious side of Sir Arthur Sullivan, who was in his day as well known for his choral works as for his operettas with W.S. Gilbert. The Golden Legend, for example, is a vivid, melodious cantata that was second only in popularity to Handel’s Messiah in Victorian Britain. Stephen will introduce and perform a selection of Sullivan’s forgotten gems.
