Tuesday

Swam 38. Dennis and AnnMarie spent their first night in their new home and not changing curtains! Spoke to Rosemary and Lyn on Skype. To Bromley Parish church train to Penge West and 227 bus to turn pages for Daniel Beach - excellent playing and Daniel Burrowes cellist very good. Saint-Saens, Schumann, Vivaldi, Faure. Good audience. Got an apron at Early learning centre for Ciarán. To Royal Academy to see Hungarian photography. To Royal College of Music for session with Matthew Hope on the programme for the evening with violinist, oboe and trumpet very Gallic. He had us doing polyrhythms and instrumentalists improvising spring. 2nd in queue and Myung Wun Chung conducting Webern, Brahms double concerto and Rite of Spring. Saw Roy Parker from Bromley Catenians. Bizet Carmen encore and soloists played an elaborate duet encore too. Great concert. Did not stay for Schubert quintet - too tired!
