We open our 80th anniversary season with an unusual social event. Hosted by our loyal President, Radio 3’s Petroc Trelawny, the evening will be a particular chance to enjoy the company of other members of our audience.
After a short introductory history of the club, Petroc will interview one of our distinguished vice-presidents, the composer Michael Berkeley. He will be invited to reminisce about his own associations with the club over so many years and perhaps those too of his father Sir Lennox Berkeley. Leading into the interval there will be a short performance by two of the talented young musicians who are to appear later in the season, clarinettist Reynold Yang and pianist Ruiqi Fang.
After refreshments, the second half of the evening is devoted to a music quiz led by Petroc. It will in part be based on the content of his new best-selling book, Petroc Trelawny’s Classical Music Puzzle Book; there will also be questions on the cultural life of Luton and in particular the recent history of Luton Music. The quiz is to be organised in teams and there may be prizes!
The event will be held in the church hall at St Mary’s Church LU1 3JF.
