FEATURED LINKEach month we highlight below one of the links on our Links Page for your special attention: Site Orchestral Concert CDs curates recordings of live orchestral concerts mainly given by Eastern European Orchestras in the 1960s and 1970s made by recording engineer Geoffrey Terry.
LATEST NEWSEngish Music FestivalThis year's English Music Festival will run from 22th to 27th May in Dorchester on Thames. See the programme and booking form, and the festival website. Farley Music FestivalThis year's festival will run from 18th to 23rd June. Tickets are now available from the festival website. Pianist Nicholas Walker, the festival's music director, is playing two concerts at the Wigmore Hall on Saturday 27th April. Both will feature music by Balakirev, including his Piano Sonata in B flat minor and the famously difficult 'Islamey'. AGM 2023The AGM was held over Zoom on 04/11/2023. Allan Child stepped down as Chairman after over a decade in the post. Our new Chairman is Tony Sanderson. See our events page for a picture of the partcipants and other details. Latest NewsletterThe September 2023 edition is available here. The Committee is immensely grateful to Simon Rawlings for editing nine excellent issues of the newsletter over the past four years. They are looking for a new editor: please contact the FRMS Secretary if you would be interested in taking it on. Naxos Music LibraryJulian at Naxos kindly responded to my query and supplied a link which does grant free access using an Edinburgh City Library borrower number. The problem seems to be with the links on Naxos's public libraries page. Here is a workaround. Go to that page, scroll down and select your country (United Kingdom) and then select your library name from the following dropdown. This will display a web address link below it. E.g. "buckscc.naxosmusiclibrary.com" for Buckinghamshire Libraries. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Instead, highlight and copy the TEXT of the link, then paste it into the address bar of your browser. Tony WalkerWe are sad to hear of the death of Tony Walker, founder member and longtime chairman of Lewisham RMS. Tony was a regular presenter at societies across the Southeast region and a stalwart supporter of Federation events. Ian Bailey has sent us this tribute to Tony. Details of the funeral on 4th July in Bromley can be found here.
