MUSIC In Quiet Places will conclude its first series with a concert in the beautiful grade one listed St Catherine's Church, Hoarwithy on Saturday, July 2 at 7pm. The programme of light chamber music will be performed by some of the county's finest young musicians.

The Herefordian piano trio (Livi van Wormelo – violin, Rachael Kennedy – cello and Johannes Moore – piano) will play a prominent role in the programme, performing sections of piano trios by Haydn, Max Bruch, Debussy and Frank Bridge. This will be interspersed by a selection of solo works including the Suite Populaire Espagnole by Manuel de Falla for cello and piano, a selection of classic songs, and an organ solo on the newly-built organ moved from the now closed Brampton Abbotts church, by next year's Hereford Cathedral organ scholar, Laurence John. To add further colour and diversity to the programme there will be a guest performance by members of the Gilbert Consort of 16th century music on period instruments including a virginal, recorder and crumhorns. During the interval, there will be a chance to see the magnificent mosaic peacock in what was formerly the vestry, but now houses the organ. When the old organ was taken out, the peacock was revealed for the first time in ninety years and, thanks to the shorter body of the new organ, can now be on permanent display.

Access to St Catherine's is up a steep path with steps so anyone in need of help with a wheelchair, or for other enquiries, should telephone Peter Pember at 01432 840254.

Admission to each Music in Quiet Places concert is free but there will be a retiring collection which will go towards St Catherine's Church and Hereford Historic Churches Trust. Refreshments will be available and donations for these would be appreciated.
