Stonegrove Serenade March 2023
Stonegrove Serenade – Music for the Community
EHRS is delighted to present Stonegrove Serenade, a series of concerts at EHRS. On every third Tuesday of the month, please join us for music featuring up and coming classical musicians.
Audiences and musicians alike have praised Stonegrove Serenade’s fantastic acoustics, intimate concert setting and warm welcome and attendees have been bowled over with the standard of talent the series has attracted. Café 118 has delighted customers with its fresh and tasty homemade food. Some of the comments we have received is that its ‘an oasis of calm’ and ‘it doesn’t matter if you’re on your own, there is always someone friendly to sit with’.
Stonegrove Serenade and Café 118 are run by volunteers with support from EHRS and Simply Scrumptious Catering. We pay our talented musicians – high calibre students and graduates of The Royal College of Music – providing work for them, as well as an opportunity for audiences to enjoy a very reasonably priced meal, concert and company. We are grateful for everyone’s donations on the door and some generous extra donations which enable us to continue to book musicians. All funds raised go into the provision of Stonegrove Serenade and Café 118 and not to other synagogue purposes.
Tuesday 21 March, 13:00
This month we welcome Polish violinist Kamila Bydlowska and Ukranian pianist Olga Paliy to Stonegrove Serenade.
Described as ‘a true musician of today’s generation’ (Lark Reviews), Polish-born and London-based violinist Kamila Bydlowska performs as a soloist, chamber musician and collaborator across multiple genres. She has appeared in venues and festivals in Europe, Asia and America, including the Royal Albert Hall, KIOI Hall in Tokyo, iPalpiti Festival of International Laureats in Los Angeles, and Midem Festival in Cannes.
At the age when young children dream about what they want to be, Olga Paliy never thought of not being a musician. Olga graduated in Kyiv with Valery Kozlov at the Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music, then with Norma Fisher at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. As well as around UK and Ukraine, her concert career has taken her to Hungary, Russia and Czech Republic, to Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Spain – and to Australia.
Programme:
Brahms – Scherzo from FAE sonata
Saint Seans – Sonata for violin and piano d minor
Gershwin/ Frolov – Fantasy on Porgy and Bess
We invite you to enjoy a light lunch in our pop up cafe before the concert. ‘Cafe 118’ will be open 12:00. The café will re-open after the concert with drinks, cakes and a chat. Please note when booking if you will be using the café.
All are welcome. Admission is free, suggested donation £5.
