As I mentioned at the end of tonight’s rehearsal I am giving a recital at Putney Library this Thursday at 6.30 to both celebrate the life and music of a former pupil, Alan Rushton, who sadly died last year and, at the same time, to celebrate the arrival of his piano, donated by his widow, to begin a new life as a community instrument for anyone, or any group, who wants to use it.
If you want to find out a bit more about Alan you can read a lovely obituary that his widow, Andrée, wrote for the Guardian:

The programme is based around pieces that he played to me, with a few contributions of my own. I’ve attached the programme and the info about the concert below.
