Eaton Concert Series

24/11/2025

This Sunday we look forward to welcoming London-based duo, Flutes & Frets at St Andrew’s for the first time. As individuals, Danny Murphy and Beth Stone have varied careers; Danny specialises in performing a variety of plucked-stringed instruments and enjoys a solo career as well as collaborating with many different singers and instrumentalists. He takes inspiration from the great lute players of the past with historical accuracy being at the heart of his music-making. Beth is an avid player of flutes from the renaissance through to the modern day flute. She enjoys a varied career performing in many different settings throughout the UK and Europe. She has worked with leading orchestras and ensembles including the Academy of Ancient Music, Irish Baroque Orchestra, Ex-Cathedra, The Sixteen, Armonico Consort and Cambridge Handel Opera Company amongst others.

We've shifted our pattern of concerts to avoid clashes with other events so they don't necessarily fall on the second Sunday! So our next concert will be in 4 weeks' time on Sunday 30th November with Flutes and Frets. This is a wonderful duo featuring flautist Beth Stone and guitarist/lutenist Danny Murphy. Take a look at them in action here.

Bravo Adam Heron who treated us to a wonderful piano recital at St Andrew’s Eaton earlier this month. It was a varied programme and the audience certainly got their money’s worth - the first half alone lasted nearly an hour! Adam gave a flawless performance and all by memory. Here’s a couple of clips - some brilliant Bach and some bouncy Bolcom (The Serpent’s Kiss), complete with sound effects made by Adam!

Really looking forward to this recital on Sunday afternoon with Adam Heron which is being run in partnership with Norfolk Black History Month.

You can catch him playing here on BBC Young Musician 2018. Would be great to get a good turnout for Adam who has come all the way from Scotland where he is a PhD scholar at the University of Glasgow alongside his performing career.

We are 4 weeks away from our second concert in this season’s Eaton Concert Series when we welcome pianist Adam Heron to perform at St Andrew’s for the first time. This concert is also being promoted to recognise Black History Month.

Adam is a multidisciplinary classical pianist of Nigerian-Filipino descent and is the winner of the 2020 Harriet Cohen Bach Prize. Adam rose to prominence following his 2018 television debut as a BBC Young Musician piano finalist. Through his unique artistry, coupled with an innate flair for communication, he strives to become a leading ambassador for classical music.

Adam’s programme will include Handel’s Suite in D minor HWV 428, Three Studies by Roger Quilter, Chopin’s Allegro de Concert and JS Bach’s Overture in the French Style BWV 831.

Following the disappointing turnout at our first concert, we really hope to galvanise some support for Adam and other concerts in the Series.

As always, it is really helpful if people could register on the website if they intend coming to a concert - this does not mean you need to pay in advance as we only take payment on the door (with occasional exceptions) but it gives us an idea of how many people to expect and plan accordingly. Last month we had about 25 programmes left over which ended up in the recycling bin!

September is upon us and with it comes the launch of the Eaton Concert Series as we enter our 26th season of concerts!

This Sunday’s concert promises to be very special as we welcome back harpsichordist Nathaniel Mander (who will be exquisitely attired for the occasion!) and baroque cellist Kate Bennett Wadsworth in a programme of sonatas for cello and continuo by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Nat will also play works by Scarlatti and Duphly.

To get a flavour of Nat's playing, see him here in Handel's set of variations on an air, popularly known as 'The Harmonious Blacksmith'! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDnJ0oPMTAI

For all concerts in the series, please visit www.eatonconcertseries.co.uk - we have a fabulous line up of concerts coming up!

We're entering our 26th Season! After a few months of silence, we are delighted to announce the line up for this season’s series of concerts at St Andrew’s Eaton - there’s plenty of variety on offer with a mix of talented young newcomers alongside some of our longstanding faithful who have contributed over the past 25 years. Having Rick Wakeman perform at St Andrew’s is certainly a first for Eaton and a personal triumph! We have also been steadfast in keeping our overall admission price at £15 which represents excellent value for money!

Please note that there has been a shift in dates so we are not rigidly sticking to the second Sunday of the month - it is hoped that this will maximise the chances of survival for the Eaton Concert Series as we endeavour to avoid clashes with conflicting events. Our opening concert in September features baroque specialists Kate Bennett Wadsworth (baroque cello) and harpsichordist Nathaniel Mander. They promise to deliver a sparkling programme showcasing Boismortier's characterful and enticing compositions for cello and harpsichord as well as dazzling sonatas by Scarlatti.

As always, it is really helpful if people could register their interest if they intend coming to a particular concert. The exception to this is the Rick Wakeman Christmas Special on Friday 19th December - tickets will be going on sale very soon and are likely to sell fast. You will receive another email when tickets sales go live.

We hope you like the new programme and look forward to seeing you at a concert soon - your support is very much appreciated as we enter another quarter century!

Eaton Concert Series is currently taking a summer break but you might like to take a look at this video featuring Nathaniel Mander playing Bach's Goldberg Variations recorded at St Martin-in-the-Fields last July - some people might remember when he performed this for us in Eaton back in May 2021.

We are also delighted that Nat will be returning to play at St Andrew's on 7th September with baroque cellist, Kate Bennett Wadsworth. Please note that this date has changed from 14th September.
