Pakefield Singers

2nd November 2023 By Jade Nice

Pakefield Singers is pleased to present this fundraising concert and is proud to be associated with this endeavour which aims to raise a statue of the composer opposite his boyhood home in Lowestoft, facing the Sea which inspired much of his music.

The programme is a celebration of Lowestoft born composer Benjamin Britten, with his popular A Ceremony of Carols, taking centre stage. The work of three other composers living locally is also acknowledged including Alexander Campkin.

Sandwiched between the carols is Zeb Soanes reads his heart-warming story of ‘Gaspard’s Christmas’ with a carol by Jonathan Dove and live illustration by James Mayhew. There will be a chance to win James’ beautiful artwork in the interval raffle.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the Britten as a Boy statue fund. Benjamin Britten is Lowestoft’s most accomplished son. Born in 1913, he showed musical talent at an early age and went on to become a central figure of 20th-century British music as an outstanding composer, conductor, and pianist. The statue by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, depicts Britten as a child and will be placed, facing out to sea, between his childhood home and the promenade.

Garner+Read

30th October 2023 By Jade Nice

Suffolk-based artists Garner+Read have been selected from international submissions to exhibit at one of the UK’s major regional Art Fairs.

Hilary Garner and Norma Read will be taking their artworks to Art Fair East in the medieval splendour of St Andrews Hall, Norwich from 1st to 3rd December 2023. Now in its 7th year, it showcases contemporary art from around the UK and overseas, attracting thousands of visitors from around the country.

The artists are thrilled to be accepted again to show work alongside so many talented people.  They are looking forward to meeting new art lovers and collectors, and are excited to be exhibiting again at this prestigious art fair following their success last year.

They create mainly still life and landscapes in oils and their work is considered by many to be complementary.  Hilary uses bold brushstrokes with thick paint and an enhanced colour palette to produce striking paintings, while Norma uses vibrant colour, expressive brush marks and palette knives to create texture in still life and contemporary landscapes.

They exhibit in a number of galleries in East Anglia and both are members of Suffolk Open Studios.

Commissions are welcome.
