A Bermudian-born musician is to return to the island next week to perform with the Bermuda Philharmonic Society.

Mairéad Hickey, an award-winning violinist said: “I am delighted to be returning to Bermuda to participate in Autumn Classics.

“I can’t wait to see my first violin teacher, Jyrki Pietila, and all my Bermuda friends again.

“I am really looking forward to performing some beautiful music with Bermuda’s musicians.”

Autumn Classics will feature a range of local and international musicians performing pieces by Mozart, Haydn and Handel.

The concert will be led by Alison Black, a Bermudian-based violinist and president of the society.

Ms Black said: “The works we will be playing embody the very best of the classical period, full of rich colours, poise and beauty and evocative of the European style of the day.

“Having a Mozart concerto played by such a fine young artist will be a highlight.”

The concert will be held at St John’s Church, Pembroke, on Sunday, November 5, starting at 7pm.

Tickets cost $30 or $15 for students and seniors with $60 front-row seats for patrons.

Tickets can be bought at PTix, Harbourmaster, Vallis & Hayward Ltd, or at the door.
