With the opera season now over for 2011, and to wide acclaim I might add, Iford returns to being more of a full-time garden, less a mixed-use venue. But music isn't out altogether; far from it. It brings us great pleasure to see the return of 3-to-tea, our series of concerts given by amateur and semi-professional musicians on Sunday afternoons in August.
The short recitals are free to garden visitors (just pay the normal garden entry), and provide a fabulous opportunity for anyone from aspiring young artists through to more experienced players to come and enjoy playing in an informal setting to a warm and very receptive audience.
Last Sunday Felicity Courage brought her group, the Courage Choir, to make merry music in the cloister and visitors were treated to a happy hour of song from this talented group of young singers. We hope that perhaps there are some stars of the future amongst them - remember us when you're famous!
