The Hospice Recitals: Frances Mason and Jennie Broom

What better than to relax with some beautiful live violin and harp music on St. Valentine’s Day?

On Sunday 14th February at 3pm violinist Frances Mason and harpist Jenny Broome will play a varied programme of classical music at Ventnor Winter Gardens and help raise funds for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.

Well known classics such as the Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams will be amongst the pieces from composers including Rossini, Saint-Saens and Kreisler.

It is so unusual to be able to experience the thrills of harp music played live and with Frances’ expressive and melodious violin, it really is a treat in store. As Shakespeare famously wrote, “If music be the food of love…play on”.

International violinist Frances Mason has had a long association with the Island and is delighted to be bringing her new duo to the Winter Gardens in this ground breaking series of free concerts.

Thanks to the generosity of the musicians and of Red Funnel, admission is free and a collection will be made for the Hospice.
