    The theme for the concerts this term is “Happily Ever After“.
    Dates, times, and venues are as follows:

    Sat 8th June 1100am – All Saints Church, Hoole
    Tues 11th June 0910am – St. Oswald’s School

    Thu 20th June 1020am – Eccleston School

    As well as themed solos on a variety of instruments, my students have been taking part in a number of collaborative compositions which should result in some intresting multimedia performances in the forthcoming concerts. Parents of those involved are welcome to attend the school concerts and anybody is invited to the first concert in the series at All Saints Church, Hoole.
    For this concert there is a ticket charge (suggested donation) of £3/adult, £1/child, proceeds of which go towards supporting a lesson bursary at  Kampala Music School, Uganda.

  • Christmas Charity Concert – 3rd December 2011

    Preparations have been underway in earnest for the Christmas Concert this term which will take place at All Saint’s Church, Hoole on Saturday 3rd December, 2011 starting at 11am. The programme will feature seasonal solos and duets and I hope to conclude with a bit of audience participation!

    Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child and can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal below.

    Funds raised from the concert tickets will continue to support a lesson bursary for a student at Kampala Music School, Uganda

    The student in question is no longer Betina as she has been too busy with the pressure of school work to continue her studies on the violin, however the bursary fund has been transferred to a new student called Justus. I hope to be able to furnish you with more details in the programme at the forthcoming concert.

  • Summer Charity Concerts

    This term there will be two charity concerts taking place:
    “Playing Together” on Saturday 18th June, 2011 at 10:30am at Upton Village Hall, and
    “Ludus Cantiones” on Saturday 25th June, 2011 at 11am at St. Columba’s Hall.

    At “Playing Together” you can expect a programme of piano and instrumental solos, piano duets and other small ensembles.

    “Ludus Cantiones” translates as play sing, reflecting the vocal and choral content of the programme alongside piano solos and ensembles. We are looking forward to welcoming the Chester Music Society Youth Choir and Preludes to sing in this concert.

    Both concerts should last no more than an hour.

    Tickets are £3/adult and £1/child for either concert. A special price of £5/adult for both concerts is also available. They can be purchased either directly from Will Hay or via paypal

  • Concert of duets raises £260 for Music School

    The last “Playing Together” concert at King’s School, Chester was very well attended. Thirty students performed duets, trios and ensembles which included a variety of other instruments including guitars, saxophones, flutes and a recorder.

    Some hi-resolution photographs of the concert are available in a password-protected gallery. (Access details for this gallery will be emailed to parents directly) All proceeds from any sales of these photographs will go to the Kampala Music School Fund. Video clips are also available, (produced to order) of your child’s performance on DVD, memory stick or by digital download, price £5. Contact me if you are interested in one of these.

    Plans are already afoot for the next concert which is likely to take place on a Saturday morning in late June, 2011.

  • Charity Piano Recital – The King’s School, Chester

    I can now confirm that the next Charity Piano Recital will be taking place on Saturday 19th March, 2011 starting at 11am in the Music School at The King’s School, Chester.

    Following the usual presentations, the concert this term, themed “Playing Together” will feature only ensemble items, piano duets and accompaniments following requests and suggestions from previous concerts. Performers will be receiving invitation letters starting this week and it would be really helpful if the reply slips could be returned by half term at the latest.

    Tickets cost £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £1 for performers and proceeds will continue to provide lessons for Betina, a student at Kampala Music School. Tickets may be purchased using the paypal cart below or by request from Will Hay and will be printed at the start of next week.
