Bradford Music Club is back!
After a short break for the summer, Bradford Music Club is very much back open for business and on track to bring many new and unheard musical talents to a local stage that prides itself on its friendly atmosphere of support and encouragement for all who wish to perform.
Last night's event was no exception to this rule: pieces played varied from an arrangement for flute and piano of Schubert's Gute Nacht (the opening lament of the Wintereisse song-cycle) to a vocal duet of Heart Like a Wheel to the French chanson d'amour of Gabriel Faure, Apres un Reve. The musical experience of performers varies hugely but one thing that is assured is an appreciative audience, partly made up of others who get up to play or sing.
These Bradford Music Club meetings take place on the penultimate Sunday of each month at the Quaker Meeting House in Yeadon, Leeds. Performances normally get started by around 7pm - if you're interested in performing or would just like to enjoy an entertaining evening of mixed musical styles and genres, come along for the next one which is on November 19th, or the following event on December 17th. Contact me for any further details.
