Classical concert-going

Or look at the websites of local choirs or choral societies and offer it on there.

Riverwalk, this I why I don’t regularly respond in Gransnet chatter. Your comment seems quite sharp to my suggestion.
This Marilla posting for the last time!
Over and Out!

I envy you! Bach's St. Matthew Passion is my favourite choral work. When I was about 16 our little choir joined other choirs in Newcastle City Hall to sing it.
It was very emotional - I still play parts on youtube and the tears start.
But Cardiff is a bit too far. You should go, even if alone.

PS what a shame Cardiff is really too far for me ????

I would suggest going by yourself. Don’t miss the performance because you can’t find another lover of Bach. There will be others attending the concert who have come by themselves too. You can chat to the people beside you all things Bach!
That’s the great thing about the arts. You have something in common with the entire audience.

Why go by herself and waste a ticket?

Offer the spare ticket back to the Box Office - it won’t be wasted.
I did this once at the RSC in Stratford and had a lovely chat with my “blind date neighbour” ! (A teacher with a school party who had a ticket for further up, but mobility issue meant she could not get into her seat - one of those “raised “ ones in the Swan Theatre)

The box office would probably take it back to resell. People do turn up to a performance in the hopes of getting a returned ticket. If they can resell it you should get your money back.

How about asking on the Next Door site? Email or WhatsApp I think. If you Google it you can find out how to join.
Useful for all sorts, inc. recommended tradesmen, etc.

What a lovely opportunity to attend such a performance.
You will know people, so invite someone you like. They are always free to decline. They don’t necessarily have to be a Bach fan to enjoy it so most would accept such a kind offer and that may be the start of a new friendship.

You could offer the ticket on Nextdoor, Freegle or a local Facebook page. You might even end up making a new friend of a fellow local Bach fan.

Just invite a friend or neighbour - maybe they'll then become a Bach enthusiast.

One doesn't have to be an afficionado to appreciate a particular composer/artist.
