Dear NMS Members and Friends,
Two things!
1. Nairobi Orchestra: Saturday, 20th June, 7.00pm and Sunday, 21st June, 3.00pm
Braeburn Theatre, Gitanga Road,
Tickets at door, Adults 800/- Students (with ID)/Senior Citizens 500/-

2. Jo Cadilhon presents his farewell concert to Nairobi: Melodies and
Chansons about Livestock
Sunday 28 June 3pm at the Alliance Française Auditorium, Loita /
Monrovia Streets, CBD, Nairobi.
Free entrance!

Firstly, I am copying here, as a reminder, the relevant part of my NMS
Newsletter of 21st May about the Nairobi Orchestra concerts this
weekend, when Duncan Miano Wambugu conducts Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9
(From the New World), as well as Copland’s Quiet City, the première of
Philip Maina’s Sherehe and Richard Srauss’s Horn Concerto No 1, with
Nairobi Orchestra player Andrew Sweet as soloist. See poster, below.

Secondly, for the past three years Jo Cadilhon has been based in
Nairobi at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to
undertake research on livestock marketing chains in Africa and Asia.
After work, he spent many enjoyable hours doing music with the Nairobi
Music Society and the Greenwood Singers. Jo is about to leave Kenya to
go back to France and work within the French Ministry of Agriculture.
He decided to mix ‘livestock’, ‘singing’ and ‘France’ into a short
musical programme for his farewell concert to Nairobi.
With some friends from the Greenwood Singers and James Laight at the
piano, he will introduce you to the mysteries of livestock through
melodies and songs from France, England, Germany, Sweden, the USA and
Kenya. Join them to hear chicken gossiping, be amazed by the story of
the incredible Derby ram, understand why some people do not eat pork,
and find out what happened to Polly the milkmaid as she was going to
market.

I wish I could be there with you for both these events but I am in the
UK with my very new hip!

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Valerie
