Concert at Lewes in November 2026 26.03.26

From Peter Copley. "This is to let you know about a concert that the Musicians of All Saints are planning, provisionally for November 7th 2026. The concert will mark my father's centenary year and will include his Divertimento for Strings and music by all the composers that he published books about, including Peter Warlock, Charles Wood and of course Milford. Butterworth will have already been 'covered' by a performance of his suite for string quartet, which is programmed for a concert this coming June. The Milford piece will be his Suite in D minor."

Following a request, Milford's Elegy for the Duke of Monmouth for string orchestra has been unearthed from the Bodleian Library, and the score and parts scanned, digitised and made ready for performance. It's a time-consuming process but well worth it. We have done the same with twenty or thirty other pieces since 2010, mostly through the kind generosity of Ian Abernethy. Feel free to ask us for something that is currently unavailable and we will do our best to help. It's surprising what is still hidden in the archives.
