We held our annual St. Cecilia's Day tribute to the memory of Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695), the last great English composer until near the dawn of the 20th century. At 9:30 we had a live performance of Celtic fiddle tunes played by Richard van Healy. The photos below are all from that event.
At midnight we had the traditional playing of the music Purcell wrote for Queen Mary's funeral, also used for his own funeral a few months later. Tribute was also paid to our own departed, and to the friendship of the group.
