The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People
Is Life Worth Living after 90? Ask the Experts! Rachel McAlpine tackles with fun and courage a topic that bothers many people — getting old.

Lunchtime Concert at St Andrew's on the Terrace, 12.15pm
Katrin Eickhorst, recorders, and Michael Stewart, organ and harpsichord, present solo and chamber music works from the Renaissance and the Baroque, including works by Fontana, van Eyck (Staeps), Frescobaldi and Telemann.
