​A last minute reminder for our concert this coming Saturday 27th November at 7.30pm at the usual place.

We are delighted to welcome the New London Chamber Ensemble (NLCE) who are one of the most prestigious wind quintets in the UK. Their programme will include works by Milhaud, Mozart, Barber and Nielsen.

The Tippett Quartet have justly deserved their reputation as one of this country's outstanding string quartets and their collaboration with the pianist Emma Abbate has earned great critical acclaim. The quartet regularly appear at Kings Place, Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Bridgewater Hall and frequently perform onBBC Radio 3. They have performed at the BBC Proms and toured Europe, Canada and Mexico. 

Their broad and diverse repertoire highlights the Quartet’s unique versatility.

Described as 'an amazingly talented pianist' by Musica, Emma Abbate enjoys a demanding career as a piano accompanist and chamber musician. She works with some of the finest singers and instrumentalists of her generation and has performed in duo recitals for international festivals and concert societies in Austria, Portugal, Italy, Poland and the USA. In addition to broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, appearances in the UK include the Wigmore Hall, Southbank Centre, Royal Opera House, St John’s Smith Square, St George’s, Bristol and the Aldeburgh Festival. 

The Whitstable Music Society Committee met yesterday evening to prepare for our concert on 30th October.

One of the things we discussed was the need for 3 or 4 volunteers who might be willing to help with the teas and coffees during the interval and to help with the washing up after the concert. We very much like to be able to provide tea and coffee during the interval because it gives everyone the opportunity to socialise, which is an important part of the experience of coming to a live concert.
