For the third year running Catherine Wilmers and friends have performed in Baldock Church raising funds for The RevIvel Association. This year they performed the beautiful Mozart Piano Quartet in G minor and the stunning Faure Piano Quartet no.1 together with Mahler’s early Piano Quartet. The audience was delighted with the concert. Professor Nick Rogers introduced it and it ended with a première of a piece specially composed for the concert by Frances Matthews, daughter of one of our wonderful campaigning committee members Nick Balmer. Her piece was for piano quartet and audience titled ‘Let Our River Heal’. Thanks to sponsors (with wonderful raffle prizes) and advertisers Chapmans Butchers, Fairhaven, Nortonway Gallery, Priory Picnincs, System Restore,
Richard reason Pianos, ‘Eight’ (Restaurant in Baldock), The Three Horseshoes (Norton) and Richard Meredith Hardy for their generosity. The concert really spreads the word about Revivel in a most enjoyable way and in a beautiful setting, St. Mary’s Church in Baldock which we were allowed to use as well as raising about £1500 for our fight for the health of the upper River Ivel.
