Cecilia Music is pleased to advise that a rare, full performance of J. S. Bach's keyboard masterpiece The Goldberg Variations will be given by the harpsichordist David Wright on Saturday 18 February at 3.00pm. This concert will take place in St Bene't's Church, Benet Street. With the dark afternoons almost behind us, it should still be light enough at the end of the concert to make it safely across the road for a warming pint or glass by the fire at The Eagle, opposite the church door. David Wright's 2007 CD recording on ZUM records was received with universal acclaim. Copies of the CD will be available at the concert for the special concert-goers' price of £10 each. However, we only have a limited stock so we will happily reserve a copy to be collected at the concert if you email us at ceciliamusic2000@yahoo.co.uk and let us know how many copies you would like. Tickets for this very special concert are best ordered in advance, which can be done by clicking here and then clicking the blue WeGotTickets button to link to the secure purchase page of our ticketing partners, WeGotTickets.com. Ticket holders who purchase in advance can make use of the Advance Purchase Seating Area at the front left-hand side of the church, with the best views of the performer, although all seating is still on a first-come-first-seated basis.Further information is available on our website or by phoning the Cecilia Music Ticketline on 07956 033 603.

Night of the Demon is based on the MR James story, Casting the Runes, and follows John Holden, a sceptical psychologist who gets the wrong side the leader of a sinister cult and finds he must race against time to cheat the curse put on him.
