An orchestral one this time, the Thorington Players, in the beautiful Pre-Raphaelite All Saints church on Putney Common, with amazing Burne-Jones stained glass windows.See here to catch a glimpse:

Wonderful music; Brahms, Bizet and Berlioz, and great musical company. It was a charity concert, to raise funds for the West London Churches Homeless Fund. This concert was dedicated to the memory of a violinist from the very beginning of the orchestra thrity years ago, Dr John Mathews, emeritus Consultant of Rheumatology, pioneer of the Musicians' Clinic, who died recently. RIP, John, we will miss you.
The church looks lovely. I love the Pre -Raphaelites so I should probably put it on my visiting list.
