Thursday 10th May 2012, time tbc For Crying Out Loud, Andrews Massey Duo Wigmore Hall David and I are thrilled to have been selected (by audition) for a concert with the For Crying Out Loud series at the Wigmore Hall. This series is organised by the Wigmore Hall's outreach department especially for carers (parents, grandparents etc) of children under 1 years old, so that they can attend high-quality classical music recitals with their babies (rather like the cinema screenings for parents with babies). This series is always booked-up way in advance, so be sure to reserve your tickets in advance. Email me if you're interested, but don't know how to book. More information to follow.

It's a beautiful concert space, with a fabulous accoustic, and the concerts always sell-out so be sure to reserve your tickets in advance. The programme will include Giuliani's Grand Duetto Concertante op 52, which is a very virtuosic showpiece for both instrumentalists, and a good laugh for the audience too. More information to follow.

Monday 21st May 2012, 1pm Lunchtime Recital St-Martin-in-the-Fields I am very lucky to have won a solo recital at St Martin in the Fields.
