Saturday July 24th Emmanuel Church, Didsbury
We’d like to send out a huge ‘thank you’ to all those who helped make our 10th Anniversary Celebration day so very special.
We, as the performers, had a ball, and judging from the responses we have had from audience members this feeling was not only shared but made even keener after such a long postponement of live events.
Here are just a few lines from the many emails received:
‘Many Congratulations and many thanks for a glorious day of music celebrating the great journey you have come on. From the opening humour of the (proud) son tutoring his glorious mother to the closing moments of the Trout we were treated to such variety and glorious rendition of music, such virtuosity, such collaboration.’
‘Such pleasures, large and small, throughout the day….’
‘Congratulations on the wonderful day of celebration yesterday……..A lovely day for all who came from far and wide to join in with the festivities.’
‘Socially, it was clearly a great success and musically a triumph. The audiences were obviously delighted and it was interesting to see just how many people turned up for all three events.’
‘Hi all you Pleyels – thank you for an absolutely splendid Gala 10th Anniversary day!’
