Concert this Sunday coming.........
Concert by the
Whitchurch Ensemble
Sunday 19th
August, 3pm, St Candida and Holy Cross, Whitchurch Canonicorum
£10 (under-18s free),
to include tea and cakes
In aid of the organ
fund
Steven Mingay
(clarinet), Paul Colman (viola), James Olsen (‘cello), Nicholas Brown (piano)
The Whitchurch Ensemble
are all experienced performers and teachers of their instruments. Steven, Paul
and James come from the Bournemouth area, but rehearsals take place in Whitchurch,
using Nick’s rather nice Bosendorfer piano. Given the repertoire available, it
is essentially two trios: clarinet and piano with either viola or ‘cello.
The programme includes
two trios: Mozart’s delightful “Kegelstatt” trio (with viola), reputedly
written while engaged in playing skittles and Beethoven’s Trio in B flat, Op.11
(with ‘cello), which has all the wit and brilliance that one expects from him.
There is also Schumann’s Adagio and Allegro Op.70, contrasting the composer’s
lyrical and exuberant syles, and then Four Pieces (for the trio with viola) by
Max Bruch (he of the violin concerto in G minor). These are truly wonderful
pieces with plenty of romantic passion and display, warm melodies and some moments of sheer magic.

free eXchange cafe - pilgrimage - 1 July 2012
Today we celebrated the launch of the Bishop's Olympic - Seeking Gold - Dorset Pilgrimage Trail. Bishop of Sherborne, Graham Kings, was joined by triathelete, Revd James Stephenson, to dedicate the route which begins at the shrine of St Candida/ St Wite /St Gwenn- an ancient place of pilgrimage known as a centre of healing and prayer for more than 1000 years.
A happy coincidence too that the launch occurred on the same day as the free eXchange cafe which is held in St Candida and Holy Cross on the first Sunday each month from May-November.
The cafe is a local community event - we meet each month to connect with neighbours and share in the free exchange of ideas - and at the same we share and swap surplus plants and produce - all with good coffee or tea and pastries!
The 'Seeking Gold' pilgrimage route links up ten Dorset churches - each with interesting historic references - encouraging Olympic visitors to collect a pilgrim badge from each church.
