FELIXSTOWE

Open-Air Music for a Sunday afternoon.
3pm in Allenby Park, Constable Road, Felixstowe
IP11 7HN

 

THIS HAS SADLY BEEN POSTPONED

The Venue in Felixstowe is Council controlled and subject to Covid-19 regulations.
  We have requirements that we cannot deal with in so short a time.
      It is with huge sadness that we have had to stay silent after all!

 

We stayed silent for a very long time.
Then last month, we played twice to large crowds in Friston, outside the Parish Church.
Quartet and Ensemble. And we raised over £1,500 for St Elizabeth Hospice.

We have been asked to play again!

Kingfisher Quartet with Beth Spendlove, Isobel Connell, Yan Yi Li and Chris Slatter.

A Programme of light and popular music from 3pm will include:
   Allegro from Mozart Eine kleine Nachtmusik, Largo from Bach Concerto for Two Violins in D,
      Elgar Salut d'Amour, Greensleeves, Theme from Schindler's List, Coates Dam Busters March,
         Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World - and many more!

This is not a concert. We are playing in the Park and would be delighted if you dropped in.
Do remember to bring your own chair and please distance yourself socially.

There is no charge for our music and the players are giving feely of their time.
   However, there will be a collection in aid of the work of Save the Children Fund.

And remember to bring your own chair!
