Lent 2 played Bach O man thy grievous sin bemoan and Franck Prelude and Fughetta. We sang Hear us O Lord to This is the truth from above tune. Good practice and started on Holy Week psalms. There were prayers for Christchurch and junior choir made cards to send to New Zealand.
Henry came to play as they go to Ireland tomorrow for Joe's 80th. I actually fixed a new handle on the grill pan. To South London interfaith group AGM at Royal Trinity Hospice. Interesting video about Compassionate neighbours. I am to be coopted onto the committee. Rizwan gave me a lift to Hyderi mosque where there was a very heated debate about security and much else in the wake of the Christchurch tragedy.At Hyderi mosque last night a letter from their neighbours was read out. In its simplicity it said so much. A Jewish lady spoke movingly of why she had come to the meeting. To those who tried to disrupt the meeting and attack Zionism I say not all Jews are Zionists. Many Jews deplore Israeli actions. So so I. We were there to discuss security and learn from synagogues how to protect each other. Stopping people from speaking is wrong. It was great that Rupert Sutton refuted nonsense about the Prevent programme. I accept there is fear and anger but we play into the hands of the far Right if we cannot stand united.
Redid the little houses at mosaic with Linda's help. Istvan Ella from Hungary played well at Cornhill. Reger, Mendelssohn and Durufle. I rather thought the balance in the slow section of Mendelssohn could have been better. To Tate Modern for Dorothea Tanning and Franz West. I did not like either and in both cases the escape was through the entrance! To West Norwood picturehouse to see the excellent "Young Picasso". The Choir on Grenfell was excellent. Liz went to UCM. Clare came with Molly.
