Bristol Piano Club activities 12th and 13th April 2025.

This weekend we held a special event and a meeting.

– The special event was held at Southmead Hospital on Saturday 12th April where members, family and friends joined together to play and listen to the Bluthner Grand Piano in the atrium . We were joined by a Cello player too. The music sounded beautiful and was very well received by people passing by and those who stopped to listen, who included patients staff and visitors.

-The meeting held at Chris and Karen’s house in Saltford on Sunday 13th was also very successful with an interesting selection of classical and modern music, a wonderful array of food and very welcoming hosts. Many thanks to Chris and Karen for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
