We have an exciting new event happening on Saturday April 12th. 2025.
Members are invited to come along to Southmead Hospital and play the grand piano in the atrium. We will start at 11.00 and play until 16.00 hrs. Members are welcome to come for the whole event or just pop in and play. Parking is available in the multi-storey are park next to the atrium building and there are also other car parks on site. I am told they are quieter on weekends. There are also cafes and toilets nearby in the atrium so all convenient.
Please support this new venture and share our love of the piano with others in the community. Friends / partners/ families welcome too.
This event is being organised by Matthew G. and Leonora.
Please let Leonora know if you would like to come along and play.
Thank you Brian. Good to hear about the piano at Southmead and your new piano too. I am sure members will take the opportunity to play two piano pieces & duets at your meeting in May. – I even have some music for four people at two pianos that I will bring along !
Best wishes, Leonora.
This is a very exciting opportunity. Thank you and Matthew for organising it.
Unfortunately Dorette and I will be travelling home from a choir trip to Riga on that day and we won’t be back in time.
But I’m pleased to say that I did my first proper hour’s session at the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. The piano, a Blüthner grand, is a delight to play. And the atrium carries the sound well. I’m sure members will enjoy the experience.
I should also say that, at my home, I now have a different piano in place of the old “honky-tonk”, a Beckstein upright which has a much more pleasant tone and easier touch. When we host the piano club meeting in May, I hope we can encourage a few two piano duets.
