The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra is coming to Powerstock Hut on Saturday and Sunday 26/27 of April and are giving a concert of Palm Court Music on Sunday evening at 7.00pm. A relaxed evening performance of popular music from before the war is promised.

Aspidistra has been praised for its joyful interpretation of this once fashionable light music from before the war. With string quartet, piano, flute and oboe they recreate the glamour of the Palm Court Orchestras that gave pleasure and hope to previous generations in difficult times.

The programme includes many memorable melodies and charming songs that you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. For youngsters it can be a perfect introduction to classical music while for classical music connoisseurs, the quality and inventiveness of this music often comes as a total surprise. The orchestra visited the village in 2007 and took part in the Powerstock music festival. Further information on the ensemble can be found on their web page: www.aspidistra.org

Admission is by voluntary donation in aid of the Hut.
