Saturday 2 February 2019 - JULIAN BLISS
We were thrilled to welcome one of the world's most celebrated clarinetists to Chalfont St. Giles at the beginning of February. Julian Bliss, accompanied by pianist Robert Bottriell, played a wonderful programme of classical music (Debussy, Messager), jazz (Gershwin), tango (Piazzolla) and more. Thanks to the substantial audience who braved the snow and ice to enjoy the wonderful concert in the lovely acoustic (and warmth!) of the Church.
