Amnesty International Leeds group would like to express its gratitude to the Leeds Quakers for organising the following series of musical and theatre performances. The details on this page are taken from their handout:
Welcome to this year's Amnesty Series at Rawdon´s 17th century Quaker Meeting House. We invite you to join us in a feast of music and theatre.
Admission is free with a voluntary collection, all of which is passed on to Amnesty International for their work in supporting the cause of human rights around the world
Arioso, the acclaimed early music group, takes us to the 16th and early 17th centuries, with dances and lutesongs and some of the earliest known examples of truly operatic music
Take a musical journey from Bach to Prokoviev with two talented young students: Adrian Cheng Un Chan, piano, and Alastair Kwan, violin. Alastair will be joined by pianist Miaoyin Qu, who makes a welcome return to our series.
We are privileged to present Rene Waterman, concert pianist and well-loved teacher, with her gifted pupil Catherine Leather, in a programme to include music by Haydn and Brahms, and the great Fantasia in F minor by Schubert. Highly recommended.
Once again we welcome Theatre of the Dales to chase the clouds away with their performance on our lawn of Shakespeare’s tale of love and revenge. Some seating will be available, but you are welcome to bring a cushion, blanket, or deck chair.
It is a great pleasure to welcome this brilliant ‘cello and piano duo again for a programme which will include the Arpeggione sonata by Schubert. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this superb work.
Colin Honour, clarinet, and friends from Opera North (Martin Pickard, piano; Liz Wyly, viola; Claire Sadler, double-bass) have prepared an autumn soiree of light romantic music to warm the cockles of your heart.
Always a popular offering of magical scenes from the world of opera, presented by Jane Anthony and some of the best students from the Leeds College of Music. Come and hear more stars of the future.
Nobody invokes the spirit of Christmas like Theatre of the Dales!
Members of the Bradford Music Club continue their tradition of inviting us to share their last meeting of the year in aid of Amnesty. Come and hear their talented music-making. You might even be tempted to join the Club!
