Friday 13th November

Music at Lunchtime Virtual Concert - Advanced Musicians' Showcase.

The 2020 series of Friday Lunchtime Concerts will conclude with a virtual concert given by the finalists of the Wellington School Young Musician Competition 2020. The school is hugely excited to have secured Jess Gilham (Saxophonist, Television and Radio Presenter and former BBC Young Musician) as the adjudicator and they are very much looking forward to the conclusion of this exciting project that has been running for several months during lockdown.

They hope that the varied programme given by the finalists from across the 3-18 age range will help support the fantastic work of the Wellington charity, Reminiscence Learning's Archie Project. They are eagerly awaiting for the relaxation of the Covid restrictions so they can return to St John's to give a 'live' concert.

As with other virtual concerts, you will find a link on this website on Friday, 13th November; the day when Wellington School were going to give a lunchtime concert at the church. Do join us and enjoy the music!

If you would like to make a donation, in lieu of the usual retiring collection, it would be much appreciated. This can be done via this website. Thank you very much.

Donations will be invited to be shared between The Archie Project and St. Johns Church.

The Elegance Duo have recently recorded an extra virtual concert at St John's, in the presence of a limited audience, and are planning to broadcast it on You Tube in the New Year.
