Piano Meets Tennor At The Putney Knitting Concerts | ||||||
Music by Schumann and Britten on 4th June 7pm
The 2017 Knitting Concerts | Sunday 4th June at 7pm Schumann - Dichterliebe, Op.48 This is a real treat. I first came across Schumann's Dichterliebe in my early twenties and was, and still am, mesmerised by its beauty and emotional depth. As ever the concert is free with complimentary wine and soft drinks and you are invited to bring something (not too noisy!) to do whilst you listen if you want to. If you are concerned that you might disturb your neighbours - for example, by clicking knitting needles, or sucking teeth whilst pondering a particularly awkward crossword clue - then please explore the side aisles which are also nearer the wall heaters. Many thanks. The proceeds from the retiring collection will go to Womb Transplant UK, a remarkable initiative that seeks to help women either born without a womb or who have lost their womb through illness to be able to conceive and carry a child. I am hoping that the pioneering surgeon, J Richard Smith, will say a few words about his work at the concert.
