PIANIST Iyad Sughayer will be featured on Frome FM at 12.00 noon on Saturday 5th March prior to giving his recital at Christ Church that evening.
The young Jordanian-born Palestinian pianist is thrilled to be playing in Frome and quite overwhelmed by the generosity of all the people involved in sponsoring and organising his recital. So if you would like to hear more about him, his passions and background, tune in to 96.6 FM and hear local composer and Frome FM presenter, Helen Ottaway, talk to him about what has inspired him and why he is championing the little-known Khachaturian sonata in his current concert programmes.
Ruth Windle (recital organiser) said, “The response to this event continues to amaze me. People are really looking forward to hearing Iyad play. And I’ve been surprised at how well advance ticket sales are going – Frome isn’t known for buying tickets in advance, but they are going like hot cakes!
“All proceeds from this event will go to support Iyad in his post-graduate studies – so a full house would be wonderful.”
The Iyad Sughayer Recital will be at Christ Church, Christchurch West, Frome on Saturday 5th March at 7.30pm. Doors open 7.00pm – refreshments available. Tickets £12 (under 16s £5).
Advance ticket sales from Postscript, Stony Street, Frome and Frome Wholefoods, Cheap Street, Frome. Or send SAE with cheque (payable to ‘Ruth Windle (Piano Recital)’ to ‘Iyad Sughayer Recital’, 25 Vallis Way, Frome BA11 3BH.
![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
