We've got a Grand!
Thanks to the generosity of one of our 'concert regulars' we have been able to buy a 5ft 6in Grand piano from a redundant Methodist Church. We are most grateful to Mr Ian Mitchell who generously covered the costs in memory of his late wife Maggie. The piano is now installed at Marske Leisure Centre and is awaiting a minor overhaul of the keyboard action. We are looking forward to presenting piano solo recitals again. Watch this space!
Thanks are also due to Mr Gary Thomas, owner of Hartgroves Removals for supplying and fitting new rubber-tyred castors to the piano at no cost to Classical Cleveland. These were necessary because the old metal castors would have quickly damaged the dance floor in the Leisure Centre.
The piano is expected to make its first appearance on Thursday 21st May when Ben Attfield accompanies flautist Adèle Bracegirdle in a programme of music by D'Rivera, Piazzolla, Clarke, Mouquet & Gershwin.
