Yes, thank you. It’s the piece that initiated my London Chamber Ensemble years ago. We recorded the work and played it at the BBC Proms etc. It’ll be so interesting seeing the companion play by @jessicaduchen.bsky.social in the first half. This has footage of Stalag VIII youtu.be/XnAADx4o3ok?...

Wonderful! We can probably arrange a lift for you, at least afterwards to the nearest station, Walton-on-Thames with quite a good service back to Waterloo
