Our thanks to Nurry Lee who delighted her audiences with her exciting, vibrant performances. She must be destined for greater things and we look forward to seeing and hearing her again.
Later this month we have the ‘Parisienne Soiree’ with all proceeds to Master Musicians.
This will be followed a week later by pianist Benjamin Frith at all our venues. Details will follow anon.
Welcome back to Master Musicians International for a busy Spring/Summer season with some new performers and some old favourites.
February brings newcomer, Young Lion of The Keyboard – Henry Cash now Tyler Hay
March sees the return of Mark Viner
April gives us another Young Lion, Rose McLachlan
Another Young Lion Nurry Lee will be here in May
Benjamin Frith is June‘s performer
