April/May 2010 social scene April/May 2010 The Ventnor Recital For the fourth Ventnor Recital, 400 people came on 6th February to hear the famous trio play a mixture of classical and popular music, in aid of the Ventnor Piano Fund. "On the south of the Island we need a better piano for our young to learn, our not-so-young to improve, and to attract the world's best musicians. So far, we've raised over £5,000" says organiser Anthony Churchill. Two concerts were held, a matinee and soiree, at the church which is ideal for its superb acoustics and comfortable seating. Ventnor's Richard Studt has another island appearance, this time with his Sinfonietta orchestra, at Ryde in December.
