Summer Charity Concert
On Thursday 17 August John Mustard's Cello Studio and friends put on a fund raising concert in our Abbey Church. Our Transepts were packed to capacity, and beyond, for a really wonderful evening's performance, featuring, in particular, local and youthful musicians. John Mustard's Cello Quartet sometimes became a Quintet, as it played, with full and beautiful sound, a variety of pieces specially arranged. Their programme was interspersed by pieces for solo clarinet, played by the famous American Clarinetist Carl Topilow. He most generously gave his virtuoso performance gratis: his first ever in a mediaeval Abbey! He was accompanied on the piano, also with virtuosic skill, by our own local Adam Csenki.
