West London Sinfonia Concert at St Michael’s Church

Performance in memory of Ida Doddridge parishioner and benefactor

West London Sinfonia, a local orchestra based in Ealing but which performs regularly in Chiswick, will be holding a concert in St Michaels Sutton Court.

It is to be performed in memory of Ida Doddridge, a parishioner and most generous benefactor to the orchestra, who died in 1998. It was a chance meeting in 1992 which introduced her to the orchestra, and after attending a concert, she took the orchestra to heart and felt that it was worthy of a larger audience. This enthusiasm, linked with an ambitious and supportive committee, raised the orchestra to new heights of performance and public support.

Ida was well known locally for good works for the church and for several local organisations and charities.

The programme on 12 May commencing at 7.30pm will start with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, followed by Beethoven’s 3rd Piano Concerto “the Emperor”, which will be played by Ashley Fripp, a fast-rising star in the international music world.

After the interval, the evening will be completed with Dvorak’s 7th Symphony. In planning this concert, the Orchestra believed that this is a programme which Ida would have enjoyed and hope that the audience will appreciate it too.
