David Shepard with Helene Pieczco

A welcome addition to the lunchtime concerts, clarinettist David Shepard will entertain accompanied by Helene Pieczco on the piano.

A teacher and performer for many years, David is now retired but still performs regularly for services in his local church with Helene who is the church’s organist and who has earned herself an envious reputation as an accompanist for several local organisations.

Over the years, David has performed for numerous concerts, recitals, choral works and musicals in Bath and Wiltshire both as an instrumentalist and sometimes taking up the baton himself.

The provisional programme will include:

Suite from the Victorian Kitchen Garden (Paul Reade 1943 – 1997)
Brook Green Suite (Gustav Holst  1874-1934  arr.  R. Denwood 2021)
Prelude Op.51 for solo Bass Clarinet (Ruth Gipps 1921-1999)
Valse Vanite (Rudy Wiedoeft 1893-1940)
Canzonetta Op.19 (Gabriel Pierne 1863-1937)
