We are
grateful to such accomplished and well respected musicians as Mark Willetts and
Danielle Saxon Reeves (Royal Festival Hall, CBSO Centre, Birmingham, Royal
Philharmonic) for offering to stage a performance in aid of St John's Church
Preservation Group. This recital will be a night to remember as this unique and
rare music is rarely performed in public. Composers include Sor, Diabelli,
Coste, de Call.
