   Put the finishing touches on your summer by celebrating with us on the Labour Day weekend for an intimate garden concert at Goward House featuring soprano Jennifer Turner singing the music of J.S. Bach and Henry Purcell. You will hear love songs from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena and from Purcell’s theatrical music; arias from Bach’s beloved Wedding Cantata, and colourful instrumental music from Bach’s violin and gamba sonatas.
   We are planning to have the concert outside this time so be sure to bring your chairs or blankets to enjoy the music on the lovely Goward House lawn.
