Classical Recitals
...the playing had great delicacy and poise... beautifully executed... considerable range of tone colours. The advanced techniques required in the flute part were managed successfully and both players conveyed the spirit of the piece and their own enjoyment of it.
- Pan, (The British Flute Society Magazine).
Flutist Anne Allen has performed recitals for many concert societies and private gatherings, including performances with Roger Vignoles, Christopher Taylor, Charles Matthews, Yeu Meng Chan, and singers Katherine Jenkins and Hayley Westenra. These usually take the form of flute and piano, flute and harp or flute and guitar duo recitals but Anne performs with various chamber groups.
Most recently Anne performed with Charles Matthews and Roger Clayden in the 60 Minutes of Music Friday evening recital series at The Regis Centre, Bognor Regis. Click on this link to find out who else is performing this season: http://www.regiscentre.co.uk/index.phtml
This was the best concert I ever heard in this house" was stated independently by two members who have been coming for more than 30 years. Thankyou Anne and Chris.
- Udo Bauer, Secretary, Schubert Society of Britain.
