JUBILEE CONCERT

Musicians from SALUTEMUS are giving a concert in the beautiful and little known church of St Mary at Berkley on Saturday 22^nd September at 7.00pm. Paul Dowbekin, organ, will be joined by the Voller string quartet and the soprano Alicia Little in a programme that will include the Sinfonia from Bach’s Cantata 188, Vivaldi’s ‘Nulla in mundo’ and Albinoni’s Adagio.

The church is not often open to the public so this is a wonderful opportunity to see the fine interior with its striking dome and many Georgian features.

The organ is a particularly fine example of the instruments made by W G Vowles of Bristol, installed in the church in 1868 and rebuilt in the 1990s. It is considered by many to be superior to the later instruments that Vowles built and it is a pleasure to look at, with imposing and highly decorated pipes, as it is to hear.

Tickets cost £10 and are available from 01373 830519 or paul@salutemus.co.uk or at the door.
