Music At Oxford At The Old Royal Naval College, 9 June 1992

…Janie and I booked a fascinating-looking evening at The Wigmore Hall.

Here is a link to the details of this Evelyn Glennie concert – click here.

In truth, not all of the music pleased us, but most of it did and it was fascinating to watch Evelyn Glennie play so many different percussive instruments at such close quarters.

Here is a little vid of her playing the Vivaldi Concerto she played us that night – albeit from a different occasion and with a bit more of an ensemble in the vid:

We also booked the late night concert the same night – I seem to recall we arranged for a rather tasty platter of cold compilations at The Wig between the gigs. Yum.

The late night concert, which was served up in the restaurant, was less to our taste – click here or below – but never mind:
