Susan Janet Williams
1954 - 2011


Sadly Janet Williams passed away in the early hours of Thursday 10th February 2011. She was a great mother, friend and musician, and she will be missed by all of the members of the BRC.

A concert was held in her memory on 25th June 2011 entitled “Summers Past and Present” at Tilehurst Methodist Church to raise funs for Willen Hospice.

Janet was one of our original founder members (formerly the South Hill Park Recorder Consort), and participated regularly in many performances before moving away from the area.  Even then, she frequently returned to support the Consort by either playing or attending events.  She was an excellent player of recorders and contemporary instruments as well as lending her soprano voice to our efforts.  Some excerpts of her wonderful contributions in our performances are:

From our medieval music section:
“A Madre do que livrou” and “Rui Chiu Chiu”

From our general music section:
“Joseph” by Hieronymus Praetorius and “Simple Gifts” by Aaron Copland
