A word from David and Sundara:
"We are keen to open our house for recitals in aid of up and coming young artists, and at the same time for charitable purposes."
Quelques mots de David et Sundara:
«Nous tenons à ouvrir notre maison pour des récitals, au profit des jeunes artistes de promesse, et en même temps pour des oeuvres de bienfaisance.»

 

17. Soirée musicale

Anna Cashell (violin)

Robert Thompson (piano)

27 February 2011

 

16. Liederabend

4 December 2010 - a chance for amateurs like ourselves to perform in front of friends. Free entry on this occasion, with the audience providing food and drink for a buffet afterwards. As well as Sundara and David, we had Philippe Baeteman-Coube (baritone) from Montpellier who was accompanied by his wife Christine. Angelika Boschetto (alto) sang solo and duets with Sundara. Philippe was the star - he could have been a professional singer in another life. The other singers were accompanied by Chris Hainsworth, a local professional musician.

 

15. Soirée Musicale: Le Trio Orplide

Edith Fellmann (harp)

Michael Crowther (oboe)

Daniel Brun (violoncello)

30 October 2010. Three professionally-trained musicians make up this unusual trio, which comes together every summer to perform throughout the Languedoc. €617 raised for the Elisabeth Gast Stiftung, a German charity with which Edith is actively involved, which helps traumatised orphan children in Georgia recover through art.
