Time: 4:00 pm

Venue: Crypt

Silence is rare, and precious, and difficult to enter into. Ivan Foo will offer a programme of music for Baroque flute, interspersed with readings, including poems by W. H . Davies, David Whyte, and prose from Trappist Monk and theologian Thomas Merton, and Catholic priest and Benedictine Monk John Main.

Please join us for an afternoon of reflective music, calm, and silence, as we together take time to be at peace in the world.

Ivan Foo is a clavichordist and Baroque flautist. In his professional life he is a consultant, conducting internal and forensic audits, with over 25 years experience in the public sector
