Such wonderful talent in the heart of our town

Last night, Julie and I enjoyed a fabulous, rich and diverse concert put on by the students of the University of Buckingham. They were mainly from the Medical School but they also had some friends from other departments and elsewhere. It was a sumptuous feast of sublime talent and joy. Below are pics of some of the performers together with Richard Lin who was the impresario behind the whole gig. Well done to all involved: a truly delightful evening!

I was invited to say a few words of welcome at the beginning. I said it was a wonderful coincidence that the concert came on the same day as the first meeting of the Pontio Group (see blog post below) as both were about harmony and making the most of the melody of Buckingham. And as it happened, the first piece was a medley including 'Bridge over Troubled Waters". How brilliant was that!
