It’s not often we get proper music in these part It’s not often we get proper music in these parts; could not have been a lovelier evening at @mapperton_estate for a picnic and wander before and after a wonderful concert of Schubert, Moscheles and Chopin in the little church by Steven Isserlis and Melvyn Tan in aid of PalMusic, a charity that helps young Palestinian musicians fulfil their dreams. One to remember, eh, @sukiaddington? @palmusicuk #mapperton #dorset #countryconcert #summereveningpicnic
