Dear Amigos,

Unusual circumstances spawn unusual actions; this is a Summer Newsletter which the Amigos have never in the past received. The health of my husband has kept us in the Algarve during part of the time we usually spend in the cooler climes of London. His good health restored, we can now flee the summer heat and take advantage of at least the August Proms tickets we have in our hands – we are going to London this weekend.

But before I close the Amigo files for a month, a few items of Amigo news that might benefit our continued success and stir you somewhat in your summer languor.

Membership renewals and subscriptions for the Amigo Season 2015/16 have been coming in well and I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that your membership subscriptions and donations form our budget, and with this have a direct bearing on the number of events we can plan annually. In anticipation of your continued support we have put together the following concert programme for the coming season:
