Tomorrow

  1. In Touch With Music
    • Start date: Sat, February 11th 2012
    • Start time: 19:30
    • End time: 22:00
    • On Saturday, 11 February at 7.30 p.m., Amanda Michell, a former chorister of St. Mary’s, Great Dunmow, will be returning to her home town to provide an evening of entertainment. The London based horn player will be joined by other young, talented, professional musicians and the choir of St. Mary’s. The programme will comprise a variety of music composed for the horn as well as a selection of solo vocal and choral music. The programme will feature works by famous composers including Mozart and Strauss alongside works by lesser-known but no less worthy composers.

      Amanda is currently pursuing a career as a professional horn player having recently completed her Master of Music Degree at Trinity College of Music, London. Amanda is enjoying working as a freelance musician, having spent the past year gaining experience as a period instrument performer with ensembles such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment as well as continuing her development as a modern orchestral horn player. Amanda’s other work has included playing with her brass quintet Lord Nelson Brass, playing on a West End show and a couple of TV appearances.

      The proceeds from the concert will be used in the following two ways. A donation will be made to Music and the Deaf, a UK charity which helps the 1 in 7 of the population with a hearing loss to enjoy the world of music. The remainder of the profits will be donated to the St. Mary’s Church Roof Restoration Fund.

      The concert starts at 7:30pm Tickets cost £10 each (£6 for school children & students) and are available from The Vicarage (872504).

Diary of a Country Churchyard - September 2010

published by Anonymous on Wed, 01/09/2010 - 00:00
The Diary of a Country Churchyard is a joint project between Dunmow Library and St. Mary’s Church.

Weddings at St. Mary’s Update
Due to the wonderful response to the request for photos and memories from weddings that took place at St Mary’s, we are still compiling pages for the Diary. Photographs were submitted dating from 1926 to the present day. Special thanks go to Steve Parker and Chris Santon at Just Us Digital for their fantastic work in designing and printing the 6ft poster for the August Library display. Our thanks again to Mike & Sue Perry and David Lipson Photography and to all the families who have contributed to this project.

Bat Evening
On Saturday 4 September Sylvia and Roger Jiggins from the Essex Bat Society will be holding a special bat event. It will start at 7.15pm in St Mary’s. Bats may emerge and fly inside the Church in which case we will remain in the Church for a while watching them and listening to their calls on the bat Detectors. Then we will go outside and hope to see/hear bats around the Churchyard. Finish will be 8.30ish depending on bat activity and human interest. People should bring torches so they can see where they are walking when outside in the dark. Places are limited so please book in advance – please see below for contact details.

In the Library this Month
Our thanks go to the children, parents, helpers and the leaders at the Churches Together in Dunmow Holiday Club who have created artwork for the September Library display during their 3 day August event. On one day a family picnic took place at St. Mary’s and activities included finding out more about the trees  in the Churchyard and creating leaf rubbings. These can be seen on their wonderful collage, which celebrates the Club’s “Rumble in the Jungle” theme.

From Where I Stand
Artist Stella Eldon has been invited to create a piece of art work for the Diary project in collaboration with people who regularly visit the Churchyard as they have family or friends buried there. Stella will be at St. Mary’s Centre on Sunday 12 Sept from 2pm please do drop in, alternatively please do get in touch via Catherine Sale.
