NNLS will be holding a free Intermezzo event every month, offering a range of musical performances — including opera, jazz and classical pieces — that both reach out to the local community, and give young musicians the chance to showcase their talent.
Working with the Concordia Foundation, a charity that supports young musicians, the synagogue aims to create a diverse programme that appeals to all, from nursery school children to elderly care-home residents.
“We had five residents from Hammerson House attend the concert,” Ms Manson said. “And we’ve also been in touch with local schools like Akiva and JCoSS.”
She added: “We want to keep the event so that it’s of a very high quality, but at the same time accessible.”
The next Intermezzo event will be held on November 21, and will feature Edgar Bailey playing the violin and Annie Yim playing the piano in a programme including Beethoven’s “Kreutzer Sonata”.
