Twenty-Second Season 2010-11

Many thanks to all of you who have supported the 22nd Season. We have had some real treats since last October and I am sure that everyone will have his or her own favourite. Many of you have taken advantage of the convenience and excellent value of our five, six and seven concert options and in so doing have made some very pleasant musical discoveries that you might otherwise have overlooked.

Seventeenth Season 2005-2006

The Seventeenth season of concerts has provided some wonderful musical moments and I am pleased to report that attendances have been excellent and our audiences as keen as ever to come to Vinehall for chamber music of the highest quality.

We started the season with London Concertante, who played works by Arensky,Debussy and Mozart. It is always good to get a larger group of musicians performing at Vinehall, and over twenty players along with the harpist Lucy Wakeford and the flautist Julian Sperry delighted the audience with their performance of Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp. They finished with a lively account of Mozart's 40th Symphony.

Sixteenth Season 2004-2005

The Sixteenth season of concerts started, as usual, much earlier in the preceding November of 2003 when the bookings were made.

It always seems such a long time ahead to be planning but it is necessary to secure the best musicians. The August before the start of the season is always busy, as I await (with a degree of trepidation) the booking forms, as I never know whether demand will be high or low. Fortunately, bookings were strong and some concerts sold out very quickly.
