Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

A concert in the car park

 I was rather startled to find the message below in my County Council inbox yesterday evening!

 'This weekend Endeavour House car park will be turned into a concert hall, complete with a 60-piece symphony orchestra and 100-strong choir.

 The event can only go ahead if there are no cars in the car park therefore if you plan to leave your car over the weekend (13 -14 June) please park in Constantine House car park instead. 

 The Endeavour House car park must be vacated by 8 p.m. on Friday.  This event is part of the Aldeburgh Festival 2015 running June 12 -28.'

 The musicians taking over the car park are used to this sort of thing.  The promoter of the event is 'Multi Story' an organisation that takes music out of the concert hall and into less usual places, aiming to attract a new audience along the way.

 The concert will be 45 minutes long and include Aaron Copeland's Apallachian Spring! Many of the tickets have been allocated free to Ipswich residents but when I looked there were some standing places available.
