🎻 Bedfordshire Symphony Orchestra Concert - Corn Exchange, Bedford
Time: 19:30 - 22:00
ℹ️ EVENT DETAILS
The BOS will be performing:
🎼 Elgar – Violin Concerto
🎼 Tchaikovsky -Symphony No. 5
🎼 Guest conductor: John Beswick
🎼 Soloist: Michael Foyle
The Bedfordshire Symphony Orchestra will present just two works in their forthcoming concert, but they are formidable compositions by giants of 19th and 20th century classical music.
Edward Elgar’s technically difficult as well as musically appealing Violin Concerto, in B minor, Opus 61 will be performed by the multi award-winning violinist, Michael Foyle.
The second half of the programme will be devoted to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Opus 64, in which, although not explicitly nationalistic, a distinctively Russian flavour pervades many of the themes.

💖 Women for women Support Group - Bedford
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
🌳 A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.
🫶 WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.
WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.
🗺 I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you.

🧑🎄 ABOUT
Buddy, a young orphan mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list, and his step-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
🎵 FEATURED SONGS
Based on the cherished 2003 New Line Cinema hit, Elf features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (Disney's Aladdin On Broadway, The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).
