The German YMCA in London has a lively programme of events including regular music related talks and performances, and their March programme includes a recital from violinist Madeleine Mitchell and pianist Nigel Clayton.
The talk is called Behind the Music. Unusually I will be talking about music in relation to myself and my activities as composer, writer and its subtitle is perhaps Music in my life & my life in music.
There will be a chance for questions after the talk, so do please come along and say hello.
