The Tuesdays Till Two autumn season continues with a second concert featuring Japanese musicians: violinist Tamaki Higashi and pianist Mariko Terashi have kindly stepped in at short notice after the performer originally scheduled had to withdraw. It will be Tamaki's first appearance at Tuesdays Till Two, but certainly not her first appearance at St John's as she has performed twice at Piccolo and she and Mariko were the performers at our candlelit concert last October.As ever the church will be open for an hour before the concert begins, with volunteers from the pop-up café team offering lots of home made sweet and savoury treats as well as hot and cold drinks.
The concert will begin promptly at 1pm. Admission is free, but those who are able to afford it are asked to make a donation. The suggested amount is £6.
