On my way home from using the Internet I chanced upon a free piano recital in progress at the St. Clement's Anglican Church in Verdun. Actually, I misread my watch, thinking I had a half-hour to kill when, in truth, the performance was thirty minutes in. I quickly doubled back!
Playing the piano was Roland Graham. He played pieces by J.S. Bach (15 symphonies), Chopin (Ballad in F minor) and Skryabin (Sonata-Fantasy No 2 in G minor). It was all very nice and a nice surprise for my otherwise boring Saturday. A tea and cake reception was held afterwards; what self-respecting group wouldn't hold a reception! The church hosts a regular recital series of which Mr Graham is the Artistic Drector.
