"We were delighted when Aspidistra was available for our Civil Partnership party in January (06).
It added a wonderful atmosphere to our celebration buffet supper at the Reform Club. Our friends still comment on it. - Roger & Marcus".
It is hard to believe that it is now five years since Aspidistra first appeared on the lawn to give our tea party a bit of a zing. You have been instrumental (pun definitely intended) in doing that ever since and for that we are very grateful.
Please do thank all the members of the orchestra for us for being so kind and willing to help out. We so enjoy having you with us. It is nice to hear the repertoire grow with each succeeding year.
You are amazing and our guests adore you. So please do count on us next year.
Saturday night was the turn of the Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra: an enchanting discovery for those who had not already had the pleasure of hearing them.
This lively seven-piece group (string quartet, piano, flute and oboe, joined for some pieces by a guest vocalist and bassoonist) played a wonderful variety of light classical music: from cheeky and amusing to wistful and moving, providing a most entertaining and enjoyable evening.
