On Tuesday
26th April, a concert entitled Piano Variations was organised at the
Pinder Hall as part of the Trinity Festival where local musicians demonstrated the delight and versatility of the piano, including jazz and Schubert
Songs. Everyone raved about Aidan Glover and his jazz piano
playing and in the first half was accompanied by Anna Higgs who has
a lovely jazz voice and a delightful personality. . One person said
how she envied Reg Wilsher for being able to play with so much
enjoyment, and to be able to sit down with a piano for relaxation.
Gillian Salmon, well known Cookham
musician who performs with the Cantorum choir played complicated Dvorak duets
with Helena Brown.
Clara Matthews age 16 played a powerful
Brahms Rapsody without music!
Then she was joined by Gillian and Helena
who all played the one piano with Six hands and a delightful piece by
Gautier - absolutely delightful, tuneful piece.
Eleanor Griffiths - a well known Cantorum
singer with a beautiful rich contralto voice played three of the best
known Schubert songs which demonstrated the perfection of
Schubert's piano writings.
The whole evening gave great delight to
the audience.
