Yamaha Club's annual get-together at Alvaston Hall will be held at the start of December 2008 and we hope you will join us in our very own 'Winter Wonderland' of keyboard music as we begin to celebrate the festive season.
UK Yamaha artists James Sargeant and Richard Bower are already booked to appear - and they will be joined for a very special concert by Yamaha's top European performer, Peter Baartmans.
Workshops and tutorials will be hosted throughout the weekend by, amongst others, London College of Music examiner Janet Dowsett and Yamaha's technical 'guru' Steve Marsden. The workshops at Alvaston are always light-hearted but very informative and they are always enthusiastically supported.
As this year's event falls at the beginning of December we're hosting a Christmas Party night with, of course, a visit from Santa and a slightly 'different' programme. Organist Howard Beaumont will be taking us back to the golden years of the cinema with a charming portrayal of the days when theatre organ music accompanied silent films and, as the popularity of 'Entertainer' keyboards continues to flourish in cabaret venues around the world, this is acknowledged as Glyn Madden brings his 'Clavinova Cabaret' to Alvaston.

Accommodation for the weekend ranges from £245 per person and you can book your place by calling Sceptre Promotions on 01780 782093.
Alvaston Hall
Alvaston is a half-timbered Victorian country house five minutes from the old Cheshire riverside town of Nantwich. Close to the splendid cathedral city of Chester, just 10 minutes from the restful Water Gardens at Stapely, this wonderful hotel promises a truly memorable experience.
