Music and Painting

 Even more events coming up!

I hadn't mentioned the latest Hay Music concert before, because I won't be able to get to it, but it does sound interesting.  The featured instrument of the concert is the theorbo, a sort of large lute which was popular in the Renaissance.  The Theorbo Today Project is trying to revitalise interest in the instrument, and some new music has been composed for it.  The concert takes place at St Mary's Church at 3pm on Sunday 26th February, and tickets cost £17.50, or £8.75 for under 25 year olds.

Meanwhile at the Castle, the new exhibition is of the works of local artist Eugene Fisk.  Eugene was Clyro's Artist in Residence, and he and Lizzie Organ ran the Kilvert Gallery together for many years.

Eugene also produced several books with his art work, such as Oh Happy Hay! which is full of sketches made around the streets of Hay, and Only Connect, a series of portraits of refugees he met at events organised by the Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees group.

So I'll try to get along to the exhibition as soon as I can!
