Music on Mondays opens its 80th anniversary season with an unusual social event hosted by President of Luton Music Club Radio 3’s Petroc Trelawny. 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. They will perform Michael Berkeley’s Flighting for solo clarinet and the Fantasia on Themes from I puritani by Vincenzo Bellini and Luigi Bassi.
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 event will be held in the church hall at St Mary’s Church LU1 3JF.
