Music in HempsteadFriday 10th December at 3.40pm in Hempstead Village Hall - no charge

I am pleased to announce that the series of Music in Hempstead will resume after over a year and half when it has either been illegal or inadvisable. I have gathered a group of six musicians to rehearse and play through Beethoven’s Sextet for two clarinets, two bassoons and two horns. It is a splendid piece. As with previous events in the series, we will meet for the first time at 2 pm and an invited audience will join us for refreshments at 3:45. We will begin the run through at 4 pm. This is not intended to be a polished performance though we will do our best. All should be over by about 4:30. I have a regular list of people who I invite and it has always been possible to accommodate people at the last minute. If you would like to be added to the list to receive a reminder near the date then please ask me on ian@isdata.co.uk. Hitherto, we have played in the body of the hall but I feel it would be wise to allow more space for the audience by placing us on the stage and having well-spaced groups of chairs and tables for refreshments scattered about the hall. Please bring face masks and wrap up well so you will be comfortable with the doors and windows open. I would very much appreciate notification of your intention to come even it it is a ‘maybe’ (ian@isdata.co.uk). This will allow me to put out enough chairs in advance. Thank you. Ian Summers
