There will be comfortable seating at the Baptist Church, and the performers list the event as phone free, and an opportunity to experience ‘deep listening, quiet reflection and a shared experience’. With a sell-out recital of Simplexity at London’s Steinway Hall, it is a great opportunity to let go of everyday stress and find tranquillity in the heart of Caversham.
