will be giving an organ recital. Entry is by donation – to be
shared between the church organ fund and the Friends of William Lamb.
A varied programme of music - Purcell, Mendelssohn, Bach &
Messiaen, but some more locally relevant pieces. One is by Alfred
Hollins, whose bust is in the Lamb Studio and another a composition
by Ronald Stevenson (marking his 90th
anniversary) who was a close friend of Hugh McDiarmid, setting music
to a lot of his lyrics written while a Montrose resident in the
1920s.
Friday 19th October: The Friends will host their (delayed) 40th birthday party to mark the opening of the William Lamb Studio as a museum & gallery. This will include a special “show and tell” of Lamb pieces held in private collections. The new Friends “Membership Gift packs” will be on sale. Apologies, but due to space issues, this event is by invitation only. Friends look out for yours, they should be delivered shortly.
