February 2024

A wonderful time was had on Saturday 10th February when we were joined by Firoze Madon, 2022 Young Musician Piano Finalist. We were treated to a sparkling rendition of Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto, which nestled in a programme of 'Romantic' gems. These ranged from the Adagio from Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony to a selection from Puccini's La Bohème and Lady and the Tramp.

 Just to say a big thank you for last night. It was a wonderful evening, such a long time since we have been to a live concert. It was very uplifting and we shall certainly look forward to the next concerts.

 I just had to get in touch to say how I enjoyed last nights concert. I haven’t really been to a concert like this before and I was blown away. The varied repertoire and engaging conductor made it really accessible and enjoyable. Can’t wait for the next one!
