THE Saint Boniface Concert Society is delighted to present Ryan Corbett playing classical accordion in Crediton Parish Church on Sunday, June 30 at 3pm.

All will be welcome and Crediton Parish Church has parking available, and there is disabled access into the church.

Ryan, a classical accordionist who has been described as “one of Scotland’s most exciting young musicians”,  will be playing transcriptions of Bach, Scarlatti and Mendelssohn as well as original music for the accordion.

It promises to be a really exciting and unusual concert. 

Ryan Corbett has featured as “Rising Star” in the BBC “Music Magazine”, “Artist of the Month” in Interlude HK, and “One to Watch” in “The Scotsman”.
