Summer Music at Sandford Church
For 13 weeks from May to the end of August, music lovers were treated to an eclectic programme of music recitals from Bach to Balfe and new modern compositions, from voice to piano, classical guitar to the church’s newly restored organ. It is a privilege to enjoy these lunchtime concerts…
Music Matters
