 ‘The English Roses’ was formed in 2012 by Sussex born Sophie Pullen and fellow soprano Iúnó Connolly

For their annual concert for the Hastings and Rother Voluntary Association for the Blind Opera South East are throwing a party! celebrating the anniversaries of several major Opera Composers this year.

Verdi and Wagner were both born in 1813 and  Benjamin Britten in 1913. This is a fun excuse to perform some parts of Operas we are highly unlikely to do in full production.

Join us on Tuesday June 11^th at Holy Trinity Church, Robertson Street at 7.30pm, tickets £7.50 available from the Blind Association on 01424 436359 or at the door.

D’Arcy Trinkwon gives a recital at St Nicholas’ Church, Worth Saturday 22 June 7.30pm. Come and enjoy an evening of fine music in beautiful setting of one of England’s very oldest churches.

D’Arcy Trinkwon will play a  fascinating  programme of music ranging beginning with some of the earliest known music (Tallis &  Upon La, Mi, Re) and culminating in the present with Norway’s Mons Leidvin Takle and his riotous Festmusikk. Along the way we stop off in Georgian England to hear pieces of Arne and Stanley, passing a work Mozart wrote for a mechanical flute-clock, a work of the Wesley dynasty, and then travel to Holland,  France, and our own Vaughan-Williams.

Very much a programme designed to show those less familiar with organ music just a slice of the fascinating repertoire written for the instrument – and one to show off St Nicholas’ organ to the full.    

Tickets £10   (to include a glass of wine during the interval)

Under 16s free        Reserved in advance or at the door
