Four Parishes Arts Society - December 2004

"Awestruck- amazing" Our Chairman's reaction to Bob Bell's presentation of "Gujerati Life" at our November meeting - it was a truly memorable evening!

Saturday 4 December at 8.00 p.m. is our Christmas party in Grateley Village Hall. Scottish music and dancing followed by mince pies and mulled wine - we hope many of you will come and bring a guest.

Andover Time Ring Festival:  Most members will know that we have decided to join the Andover Time Ring Festival project in celebration of the completion of the improvements to the High Street. The climax of this is a procession around Andover on Friday 3 December, 6.30- 8.00 p.m. It is not too late for members and friends to come forward for joining the procession, so please contact us if you would like to take part. It would be good to see our villages well represented.

David Owen Norris: We are hugely privileged to have the pianist and broadcaster, David Owen Norris, here for our meeting at Monxton Village Hall on 11 January. He is a musician of great renown and has given many recitals worldwide over the years, both as a soloist and as an accompanist. He has recently been appointed Research Fellow at the University of Southampton where he has been working on the theme he is going to bring to us - the repertoire of the late 18th Century Square Piano. This should be an unforgettable occasion. All music lovers in the four parishes are welcome to come and join us for this special evening.
