One of the AGM decisions was to close THIS VdGS1 account. Any of you who don't also follow me @gamba_viola, please come there, where my aim to be informative and entertaining is so far more successful.

Opening the AGM of the VdG Society by zoom last night, Alison Crum talked of her near normal life this year, driving to Europe for concerts & making two trips to the USA where she was reunited with former students & also met a lot of new players. Viols are SO popular these days!

He was organist @KingsLynnMinstr for nearly a decade and a first Festival celebrating him was held a year ago @KLFestival. Look out for the second one in early autumn this year. A great artist, as was his daughter Fanny.

There'll be many more events (both live and virtual) in 2023 as the VdG Society will be 75 years old......in fact exactly the same age as the Music Faculty @Cambridge_Uni....

Just been to an amazing concert: Peter Wendland & Jacqui Robertson-Wade as 'Dialogue Viols'. The sound of two Pardessus charming & elegant in spite of the tessitura. They also played two Quintons (5-string violins...who knows them?), again a ravishing sound, AND bass viol duos!

Please spare us. You and the word culture have no recognisable relationship. Even Angela Raynor went to Glyndebourne, which I imagine you've not heard of ...
