I am writing to let you know that the Bach Players’ concert at The Octagon Chapel on Sunday 29 March has been cancelled, because of the present Corona virus crisis. Those of you who have bought tickets online are being automatically refunded by TicketSource. If you have any questions, do get in touch by replying to this email.

We plan to hold this concert in March 2021, and we very much hope to see you later this year for our two further concerts at The Octagon Chapel.

Meanwhile, we can take solace in recorded music. From our own CDs, we have uploaded for public listening our recording of J.S. Bach’s Cantata ‘Widerstehe doch der Sünde’ (BWV 54), which we recorded in 2011 for our album Pachelbel and Bach. The singer is Sally Bruce-Payne. (This is the cantata for today: the 3rd Sunday in Lent – Oculi.)

With all good wishes,

The Health and Safety of our Members and audiences is our first consideration; therefore the concert by the Albion Quartet on Sunday 22nd March 2020 at 3:00PM has been cancelled. This is due to the UK government advice issued on 16 March 2020 in relation to the coronavirus outbreak.

If you have booked online, or by telephone with TicketSource, we will initiate a refund for the value of the tickets and booking fee. You will receive a notification of the refund process in a separate email.
We are grateful to the Albion Quartet for having offered to come to Norwich in place of the Brentano Quartet, and disappointed that we cannot now accept this offer.

Any decisions on the concert by Trio Wanderer on April 18th, and by Richard Goode on May 16th will be taken in light of circumstances nearer the time.

We are sorry to disappoint our audience but trust that you will understand our decision on this occasion..

With best wishes

Peter Lawson
Chairman
Norwich Chamber Music

As you will no doubt already know, many public events are being cancelled, unavoidably, due the dangers of the corona-virus Covid-19.

Our thoughts are with those that are already affected and those that will be in the future, and we will try to keep you updated as and when our Music in Norwich members let us know – but do make sure you check with venues before you attend any advertised concerts in case they are cancelled too
