Friday 27th May

Fornham St Martin

Concert with Yalda Davis

7:30pm

Tickets £8.

Please call Beryl Dykes on 01284 704109

Yalda Davis is a talented cellist, daughter of the conductor Sir Colin Davis and she lives near Stowmarket. She is amazing person as she aims to play the cello in every church in the Diocese, allowing the churches to raise funds and providing us with great entertainment in the process. So far Yalda has, I believe, played in close to 400 churches in Suffolk.

Yalda writes....
“Yalda Davis and Rachel Chaplin have been friends since their teenage years in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Their musical journeys diverged while Rachel spent time specialising in historical oboes, performing with English Baroque Soloists, La Serenissima and other early music groups, and Yalda meanwhile delved into conservation work, running a B&B and her current project of playing the cello in all of Suffolk’s 500 medieval churches and writing a book about it. Happily the last few years have seen them playing together again, spurred on not least by a very special pigeon - more to be revealed during the concert!

Everyone welcome.
