April Music

This began with a visit to St Paul's Cathedral for an organ recital.  We took the grand-daughters along as it was still school holidays.  I really like some organ music - did I hear you say Bach?  This did not feature any of that tribe, but a much more modern set of 5 composers, 3 of whom I had never heard of.   Oh dear: not a good introduction to classical music for the girls.   It did not begin well as we arrived about 10 minutes before kick-off to find the preceding service was still happening: in fact they had just got to Communion , so the concert was 20 minutes late starting.  Then the music was IMO boring and somewhat  discordant.  We threw in the towel after 4 of the works.
