An invitation from the event organisers

Dear All,

Neil and I are so happy to be performing at St. Stephen Walbrook again on 21st December at lunchtime. We have put together a wonderful programme featuring many seasonal works and are repeating The Squirrels from our July concert. The reason for this is my brother Simon Howes leaves La Gomera all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to Antigua on this Sunday 12th December rowing solo. This epic voyage is in aid of the Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trust and he’s more than half way to raising £100,000.

The purpose of the fundraising is to build a woodland sanctuary on the Island so all these little Squirrel Nutkins can be safe for ever. You can find out more about this adventure at www.atlanticrower.com and the details of how to give are also on the website at www.justgiving.com. And you can follow the journey across the big sea.

This concert may well be banned but I thought I’d think positive and send out this timely reminder anyway. Should Option B include cancelling public performances in places of worship I shall of course let you know.

Hopefully see you on 21st December with all the fabulous St. Stephen’s Christmas decorations!

JANE AND NEIL

Programme will include

Vivaldi, Busser, J. S. Bach, Shakhidi, Bevan, Briccialdi, Elgar and Koechlin
