Hay Music Makes Concert Changes

 Hay Music have been experiencing difficulties with their concerts recently.  

The January concert with Llyr Williams was cancelled, and then they made the decision to cancel the February concert as well - partly because the soloists would be coming from Berlin and Poland and they were uncertain about whether international travel would be possible.

However, there will now be a concert on Saturday 19th February, at 3.30pm, when Jayson Gillham will be performing a piano recital.  He's performed at Dorstone House before, and recorded an online concert for Hay Music during lockdown last year.  This time he will be playing Bach transcriptions, as a preview to a concert he's performing at St. Martin in the Fields on 22nd February.  (This seems to be Bach's music adapted by other composers, I think?).

After that, the next planned concert will be on April 1st, with medieval music performed by the Sirinu Ensemble.  They are hoping that this will be the first concert in Hay Castle when it re-opens after the restoration, but if they're not quite ready, the concert will be in St Marys.
