Dear Subscriber,
With the whole world in turmoil, you might welcome some distraction. To this end we’d like to tell you about our New Year concert on the 5th of January 2025. Unfortunately, the Sands film Studio in Rotherhithe was not available this time so we are not able to livestream it but the face-to -face experience should be worth the trip.

The Bank Holiday Monday was beset by somewhat disappointing weather for late May It was unseasonably cool and although the sun made a rather half-hearted attempt to shine, it was punctuated by occasional showers. However, those who braved the journey to Lauderdale House, on Highgate Hill in North London, were certainly not disappointed !
Dear Subscriber,
This is just a quick reminder of our concert on the 27th May at 2:30 pm on the bank holiday at Lauderdale House, Highgate Hill, London N6 5 HG.
Dear Subscriber,
Just four weeks and we'll meet again, same time, same place, for our annual concert. That is, on the bank holiday afternoon, 27th May 2.30pm at Lauderdale house, Highgate Hill, N6 5HG. We are very excited because it promises to be a such a fun programme.
This is what we are planning to perform:
Dear Subscriber,
In case you missed our New Year concert you still have a chance to watch the recording of the concert for another week. The livestream is available on demand by voluntary donation via the Sandsfilms.co.uk website or via this link. https://watch.eventive.org/sandsmusic.
Here is a list of the pieces we played
We hope you can join us for our New Year concert next week: Thursday 4th January 8:00 pm at Sands Music Room, 84 St Marychurch Street, Rotherhithe SE16 4HZ.
If you cannot make it to Rotherhithe on the day, you don’t need to miss out because the concert will be live-streamed. However, it is worth making the effort to join us in person because Sands Music Room is rather wonderful and an attraction in its own right (and only a two minute walk from Rotherhithe station).
We are approaching what is traditionally known as the festive season. With only a few more marches and Just-Stop-Oil protests, Christmas is fast approaching but it doesn’t feel very festive this year. However, there is something joyful to look forward despite the turbulent times we live in; On the 4th January, 8.00pm, Aspidistra is presenting its New Year concert. We’ll play music selected to give 2024 a promising start and works that look back light-heartedly at notable events of 2023.
