Bi-monthly series celebrates Spain, Bach and good music

A Streatley church is looking forward to continuing its series of Sunday concerts across 2025, with the first taking place later this month.

Gary Jordan will play the guitar, and Seth Williams will be on the piano.

Together they will perform Spanish Fantasia for Guitar and Piano.

The programme will include Joaquin Rodrigo’s Fantasia para Gentlehombre and works by Tedesco and Marchelie.

Tickets cost £10, or £9.

They will only be available on the door, and organisers say it is cash only.
