  • Piano Concert raises £160 for Kampala Music School

    Students at 150309 piano concertA big thankyou to all those who attended or performed at the last piano concert held at All Saint’s Church, Hoole which raised £160 towards a piano bursary for Kampala Music School. 

    Some parents have asked about a DVD of the concert as there was video and audio recorded. I have considered this and thought about maybe selling them to further boost the KMS fund however I have decided instead just to make available digital videos of individual student’s performances to their parents if they contact me to request them. They can be available in either DivX for playback on Windows PC or 3GPP for mobile phones.

    Technology did not quite permit the live webcast stream with video as originally intended though there was a low bandwidth audio stream captured by the webcam.

    Some higher quality audio clips of the concert will become available on my gallery or by special request.

     

  • Charity Piano Concert – 15th March 2009

    Charity Concert PosterThis term’s piano concert will take place in just over two weeks time. As mentioned already in the newsletter, the concerts this year will be supporting the Kampala Music School in Uganda with the aim of providing a piano lesson bursary.

    Our piano concert this term will feature the seven movements of Bach’s Fifth French Suite played by myself with performances from my students in between movements. Technology permitting, the concert will be streamed live below on Sunday 15th March, 2009 at 13:15 GMT!

    The date has been chosen to align with the music school’s annual anniversary concert.

    KMS 6th Anniversary ConcertLast year, the concert featured singers from numerous choirs in Kamapala performing a popular programme of choral ‘gems’, including Feel the Spirit, an arrangement of well-known Spirituals  by John Rutter, Cantique de Jean Racine by Faure and David Fanshawe’s setting of the Lord’s Prayer from African Sanctus.

    A suggested donation of £3 per audience member will be requested upon entry to the concert with proceeds providing a piano bursary for a student at the music school.
