This Valentine’s weekend enjoy a fabulous outdoor morning concert of fine music for flute, trumpet, cello, sax and piano, in a magnificent spacious garden in the beautiful Midlands.

An eclectic programme of beautiful music – many with a gentle theme of love – can be enjoyed on the expansive garden lawn at Puddles Cottage, in the heart of the Kamberg Valley in the Midlands.

Friends Maggie Deppe (piano and oboe), Cathy Peacock (trumpet), Sabine Baird (flute and sax) and Nigel Fish (cello) have all missed performing while in Lockdown, so jumped at the chance of creating a Valentine’s weekend pop-up concert at the invitation of musician friend, Agnes Jerman of Puddles Cottage in the Kamberg.

The carefully-chosen eclectic and varied programme includes: the haunting theme from Cinema Paradiso (E Morricone); the lively Libertango (A Piazzolla); Prince of Denmark’s March / Trumpet Voluntary (Jeremiah Clarke); Trumpeter’s Lullaby (L Anderson); Polonais and Badinerie (JS Bach); Meditation for Thais (J Massenet); Modjadji (John Walton); Lonehill Creek Spring (M Hyde); Taurus the Bull (Garry Wilkinson) and Danza Alegre (M Moszkowski).
