AN EVENING WITH THE LONDON SINFONIA


I know I have mentioned the London Sinfonia before, but I am not apologising for that. We went to see them at the Central Theatre on Sunday and it was a wonderful performance. There was also a good crowd. These included a group of school children that were really enthusiastic. During the performances you could have heard a pin drop but at the end the children plus the rest of us showed our appreciation. We were lucky to hear the world premiere of Tansy Davies work ‘kingpin’. This was specially commissioned for Medway.
After the performance four members of the orchestra gave us a little encore in the Jazz Cellar. It was a light-hearted way of finishing the evening, and was a pleasure to talk to them. What was nice; quite a few of their fellow musicians came down to support them and join in the fun. I look forward to their next visit to Chatham.

One date for your diary is Sunday 10June 2007. We have Julian Lloyd Webber coming down to Chatham. He also plans a post-concert encore in the bar.
Hope I see some of you there.
