Cruise Ship Musicians Give Cathedral Concert

CRUISE SHIP MUSICIANS GIVE CATHEDRAL CONCERT

 

By J. Brock (FINN)

 

When the Hansiatic made an emergency call into Stanley for bunkers on Friday, 20 February, her passengers were treated to a concert in Christ Church Cathedral.  A request for the Cathedral as venue came to Church Warden, Keith Biles at 0800 for a 1200 concert.  The ship was late and the concert didn’t take place until 1400 but it was well attended by crew and passengers from Hansiatic.

 

Baritone, Buckford Puttakkamer, accompanied by Andras Vernsey on organ, entertained the 100 strong audience with a variety of classical pieces by Gluck, Handel, Litszt, Gounod and Schubert.

 

Though impromptu, the concert was very well received by the audience.  And, it is hoped that similar concerts can be organised next season so that local residents can have the opportunity to listen to visiting musicians.
