Programme Note
For our Autumn concert this term we bring you two contrasting pieces from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. One tells the true story of Saint Nicolas, the other is settings of German Ländler-type songs for choir. What links them is that they both have an integral part for piano duet, and we are pleased to welcome Anne Taylor to partner our regular accompanist, Olga Elbourn, to play the piano for us. We are also delighted to welcome several local young players and singers to perform with us in St Nicolas.
