Come and find out how the beautiful landscape and history of the Ayots and Wheathampstead and nearby Welwyn Garden city inspired my book of short stories 'What the Wind Saw'.

Cecile Chaminade:
A Celebration and Reflection
​​
​
Friends Meeting House
Handside Lane
Welwyn Garden City
6pm
FREE ENTRY
Donations to charity tbc
​
Featuring
Helen Shabetai - Piano
​​
Cecile Chaminade (1857-1946) was one of the most famous pianists and composers of her day. She was the first female French composer to receive the prestigious Legion d’Honneur, her music was played at Queen Victoria’s funeral and when on tour in the United States, she was the guest of Theodore Roosevelt at the White House. Chaminade’s beautiful compositions sit alongside the greats of her generation – Faure, Debussy, Saint Saens - yet today she is scarcely remembered.
Through her songs and compositions for flute and piano, you will learn about Cecile Chaminade, her life and times, who and what influenced her compositions and the reasons why her work was forgotten for so long. By performing some of her most lovely work alongside some from her male contemporaries, I am sure you will reach the same conclusion we have that Chaminade is a name to remember.
Sunday 5th July, 2026
​
I am absolutely thrilled to be working with CPRE Hertfordshire to bring you this unique Open Gardens with Music in the beautiful gardens at St Paul's Walden Bury to celebrate 100 years of the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Music will be performed throughout the afternoon by Cambridge University Brass Quintet and Welwyn Harmony Chorus - Hertfordshire's only ladies' barbershop chorus.
Bring your family. Bring your picnics. This is will be a super afternoon to remember.
Autumn 2026 events will be announced in the early summer - watch this space!
