Duo B!z’art – Piano Duo – Town Hall, Inverurie – Saturday 26th October 2019

The second concert of the season is the Duo B!z’art piano duo which will fill the Town Hall in Inverurie with wonderful piano sounds. The duo are André Roe and Geoffrey Baptiste and as their website says

Playing the piano with 4 hands, we use 20 fingers of 2 musicians sharing the 88 keys of a piano. This gives a very special show, where our hands can twirl on the keyboard with great virtuosity.’

This concert is part of the

Review of the concert

Sadly the season from March onwards was curtailed by the onset of the Coronavirus Pandemic

CONCERT CANCELLED – Maharaj Degavino Duo (flute and piano) – Thursday 19th March 2020 – Inverurie Town Hall (8pm)

THE NEXT CONCERT, WHICH WAS DUE TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY 19TH MARCH 2020, HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 SITUATION.

MORE INFORMATION WILL FOLLOW ABOUT REFUNDS FOR SUBSCRIBERS AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT TICKETS.

APRIL CONCERT CANCELLED

The concert due to be given by Lana Trotovšek and Maria Canyigueral on 17th April 2020 is cancelled.

As you probably anticipated, the concert season has now come to an end due to the government restrictions put in place to manage the coronavirus situation.

The concert due to be given by Lana Trotovšek and Maria Canyigueral on 17th April 2020 is cancelled.

If you have subscribed to the concert season, you are eligible for a refund of £15 per subscriber (i.e. one third of the cost of the subscription) as two of the six concerts have been cancelled. Please contact Ian Clark (Treasurer) at clarkzian@icloud.com to provide your bank details to enable the refund to be made directly to you by bank transfer.

Alternatively, if you would like to support the Inverurie Music Award Scheme for young musicians, you can opt for this money, or part of it, to be transferred to the Award Scheme fund for 2020. All contributions to the fund will be gratefully received.

It’s such a shame that Lana and Maria will not be coming to Inverurie to give their concert next month. Both are very disappointed not to be performing in Inverurie as they enjoy visiting this part of the world. Hopefully they will be able to return before too long.
