1 More Sleeps To Horley’s Ironstone Chamber Music Festival

Ironstone Concerts

IRONSTONE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

St Etheldreda’s Church, Horley  11th, 12th September 2015.

By now  you should have received a flyer through your door to advertise a wonderful weekend of music making here in Horley! A very professional team of musicians led by violinist Lucy Gould and her sister, ‘cellist Kate Gould has been assembled to play in the great acoustic of our Church. To add to that line up they have invited Craig Ogden, who is one of the foremost classical guitarists here in the UK! The first concert on Friday 11th Sept at 7.30, will include music by Schubert & Mendelssohn and Craig will join the string players for the entertaining Guitar Quintet by Boccherini, and a piece entitled Tango Sensations by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla.

Next day Saturday 12th at 12:30 Craig will give a one hour lunchtime recital in which he will play pieces as diverse as Bach to George Harrison and Django Reinhardt.

The final concert will be 7.30 pm on Saturday 12th September and will feature amongst others the marvellous String Quintet by Schubert, probably never played in his lifetime, and not published until 20 years after his early death.

When you hear this work, which is one of our “Desert Island” selections, we hope you may marvel at its sheer beauty!

To finish the weekend on Sunday 13th at 11.00 am we shall present a Choral Mass by Mozart.

5 Reasons Not to Miss …….

msnd….the Horley Footlights production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream….. as it holds promise of a very special version because …

1. it’s staged in our atmospheric medieval church

2. the script is reduced to the core essence of the story

3. the choreography brings it beautifully to life

4. it is set to Mendelssohn’s incidental music

5. of the live piano accompaniment

It has been re-imagined by Tessa Howell, who has recreated, produced and directed this (her last) Horley Footlights production.  Tessa has excelled herself by making Mr Shakespeare accessible and yet keeping the magical qualities of the story. The cast from the village (except for one young male lover) consists of some seasoned old hands, some new faces and fresh young ones taking centre stage.

Come and see how Horley Footlights resolve the vagaries of both human and fairy behaviour in this best-loved Shakespeare play. Don’t delay as tickets are selling fast! To book yours call Jenny Reynolds on 01295 738125 or email her at  daveandjennyreynolds@btopenworld.com.

“If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended: That you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear; And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding than a dream.”

The Three Belles @ Upton House – 29th August

NTThis bank holiday weekend, Upton House welcomes the beautiful Three Belles to perform in the gardens as part of the Banking for Victory wartime project currently in the house.

Join us on Saturday 29 August to get in the party mood, bring a picnic, listen to great music and have a dance as the sun sets on the lawn as you are transported back to that great era of music.

3 bellsThe Three Belles are a professional 1940s vocal trio inspired by The Andrews Sisters. They have performed at IOW Fest, West End Live at Trafalgar Square, The Royal Albert Hall, The Ritz and The Savoy and featured on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, BBC South Today and The X Factor Talk Talk Ad, ITV’s ‘Inside The National Trust’ and ‘The Evening Show’ on London Live.

Victoria Wright, Events and Marketing Manager said, ‘We are delighted to welcome The Three Belles for a glamourous evening of drinks, dancing and picnicking in the grounds of Upton. The bank staff who lived here during the war would have listened to this type of music on the wireless in the sitting room and would never have imagined it would have been played out on the terrace in 2015!’

*We are offering a special group discount of 1 free ticket with any booking of 6 people or more.

Booking is essential on 0844 249 1895 or  online
