The magic of Music

Last Sunday I was priviledged to be part of an appreciative audience at the Baycourt who presented a programme "A Taste of Europe".

Europe is a geographical area embracing a very wide ethnic mix in traditions expressing their feelings through music and its melodic beauty. From the middle and north Europe we had the "master class" very technical, precise and disciplined type music and rightly finishing with the soul tearing melodic Caucasian sketches which put one's audio senses into an "alert mode" in not only listening to the music but seeing the performers enjoying the occasion.

The wonderful solo violinist Martin Risley made us all proud to witness his professional and emotive performance.

The somewhat older generation attending such concerts is perhaps obvious as they appreciate talent, good classical music and above all support the arts and the continuance of culture.

Thanks to the new Symphonia director Justus Rozemond for his innovative presentations. I certainly enjoyed the concert.
