farewell letter from anthony newman

Dear Friends,

As you may have heard, either from the article in The Key or through the grapevine, I’ll be stepping down from my position as music director of Bedford Chamber Concerts at the end of this season and easing into retirement. A difficult decision, to be sure, but it’s time.

My final concert with BCC will be the upcoming Concerts for Four performance on May 14. The concert will include, along with some beautiful J.S. Bach and Haydn compositions, a special quadruple concerto of my own which I composed to honor those lost in the 9/11 attacks. You can find more information on our website. I do hope you will be able to join us for a proper farewell.

On a personal note, I want to thank you for all the help and good wishes you and so many others have given me during my two major efforts with Saint Matthew’s Church: providing music for Sunday services and various church events for more than 34 years, and of course maintaining our long-standing Bedford Chamber Concerts series which has stood the test of time for the last 25 years. You’ve lent your support both through your loyal attendance and often though your suggestions about repertoire, which I did my best to follow.

I will miss you all very much and hold you in great affection.

With Love,

Tony Newman
Music Director, Bedford Chamber Concerts

THANK YOU!
