Music Matinee Inc Newsletter August 7th, 2026
Dear Friends of Music Matinee,
It was so good to see 150 of you all at The Scots’ Church on Tuesday to support our young musicians from VCASS and what a wonderful performance it was. It means so much to young students to have the opportunity to play in such a lovely venue with an enthusiastic audience and gives them all confidence for their future as performing artists. And what an marvelous array of music.
We look forward to seeing them progress through the years and thank them and the wonderful staff at VCASS for their great dedication and such a wonderful and memorable concert.
Some of you may have read in The Age of the recent success of Charlie Wu in Moscow at their Piano competition where he played Rachmaninov 3rd to rapturous applause. Charlie wanted us to know that playing at Music Matinee with you all on Scots’ wonderful piano had been a great help to him to prepare for this event.
Our next concert is on August 18th at 1.00, please be seated by 12.45 if possible when we welcome a wonderful piano trio - Catherine Zhu- Piano, Yo-yo Zhou - Violin and Ryan Xu -Cello.
They begin with Astor Piazzolia The Four Seasons Piano Trio followed by two great Bach pieces - his Violin Partita No 2 in D Minor and his Cello Suite No6 in D Major.
Their concert will conclude with a piano solo, Liszt’s Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude. We all look forward to this beautiful concert full details on our website.
Music Matinee exists to assist our young musicians on their paths and those donations you make at the end of concerts ensures that it can keep functioning.
