Our musicians are keen to keep the music alive and still perform next Saturday, keeping the theme of the original programme and some of the same music, but making some adaptations in repertoire to reflect the change of the event to a more conventional concert.

We are very sorry to announce that the Mercurius Dance Company has had to withdraw from our ‘Dance of the Nations’ concert on Saturday 15th February, due to a medical emergency with one of the dancers.
