Harpists Frances and Alex are Bognor Regis Music Club guests

The next concert at the Bognor Regis Music Club on Saturday, March 23 at 7pm will be given by harpists Frances Kelly and Alex Rider.

Club Chairman Chris Coote said: “Their programme has a French and Spanish flavour ranging from the 17th to the 20th centuries, including baroque pieces by Scarlatti, Praetorius, Vivanco and Krumpholtz in the first half and then works by Debussy, Caplet, Chabrier and Salzedo in the second half.

“Harpist Frances Kelly is now best known for her pioneering work with early harps, working regularly with The Sixteen throughout the UK and abroad. She is much in demand as a continuo player and has performed, broadcast and recorded with many other distinguished early music ensembles, among them the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

“We are delighted to welcome Frances and Alex to our club for what will be an extremely-entertaining evening of beautiful music. Our intimate surroundings and acoustic suit an ensemble such as this, and I am particularly looking forward to the arrangements of Debussy piano preludes.”

The concert is at the Club’s concert room, 2 Sudley Road. Entry at the door is £9 for members, £11 visitors, £5 students.

New members and visitors especially welcome. More details from Chris (01243 773276), Helen Woods
