Help us celebrate this significant birthday, and join us for a program of some of

he's actually thinking of joining us - keep an eye out for him, as you enjoy the
superb acoustics and beautiful surroundings of Yorkminster Park Baptist Church.

Music by Villa-Lobos and Tedesco complete an evening full of sound and colour.
