Monday 14 June was a glorious day for Song-Cycling.
Lunchtime concert at Coutts with CEO, Michael Morley cameo-ing on the piano accompanying beautifully a couple of arias was a fabulous experience. Coutts very kindly donated £1 a mile to each of us raising a total of £1,400 towards our charities. Thank you very much indeed Coutts.
The same evening, the Arts Club in Piccadilly pulled in a full house to enjoy a wonderful programme of sparkling coloratura soprano arias, gorgeously interpreted Schubert song from international tenor Mark Padmore and opera super star bass-baritone Sir John Tomlinson with stunningly beautiful and subtle Susanna piano-playing. There was dulcet duetting between Mark & Alice and some startling and hilarious G&S action (including Mikado's, Three little maids). Thanks to all who contributed to make this such a fantastic show. I, for my part, loved every minute of it (except the ongoing splitting headache!) and thank Susie without whose talent we would never have got such great singers involved and managed to raise so much cash. Approx £2,000 with more to come we think.
Onwards to Song-Cycling's appearance at Corsham Festival on Monday 21st.
