The FRIENDS OF BAWDESWELL
CHURCH
ANNIVERSARY CONCERT
This year’s church anniversary
was commemorated on Saturday 30th July with an evening concert given by
the distinguished musician, Dr. Gerald Gifford.
Entitled 'Georgian Delights',
to complement the neo-Geogian architecture of our beautiful church, the
programme included works by many well known and lesser known composers
of the era.
.
The programme was executed
most skilfully with Dr. Gifford introducing each piece and alternating
between the harpsichord, positioned at the front of the church and the
chamber organ, residing just in front of the gallery at the west end.
This gave an interesting
sound dimension for the audience and demonstrated the wonderful acoustics
of the building.
.
The Church, which had just
the day before had its rewiring completed after eight weeks work, had been
thoroughly cleaning from top to bottom by the friends group. She looked
and smelt ready to celebrate her birthday in great style!
As usual Sue Lilwall and
her team had enhanced the church with the most stunning flower arrangements,
setting the scene for the recital and supper.
.
We were very privileged and
honoured to welcome Dr. Gerald Gifford, a performer of international repute
to Bawdeswell and it was very encouraging to see over 70 in the audience.
.
Thank you to all who helped
with making the evening the great success it undoubtedly was and we look
forward to bringing such high quality events to Bawdeswell in the future.
