UK Conductor Seeks to Protect Historic Buildings

February 9, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

By Lawrence Poole
 
WENDOVER, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, UK — A MUSICAL director from Great Missenden has organised a series of concerts to highlight the threat that construction work for HS2 poses to historic buildings and churches.  
 
Peter Bassano, 66, of Potter Row, said: “One of my jobs is as musical director of the Wendover Choral Society and many of the concerts we perform are in St.
Mary’s Church, Wendover, which is a few hundred yards from the proposed route. If it goes ahead the noise will be tremendous and we will no longer be able to perform concerts. You need moments of silence to perform serious works.”
