The final concert of our winter series featured Lynne Sue Flameling playing an interesting version of the manolin that an audience member had brought along. A haunting Romanian gypsy song was performed with Robin Worley on the flute and a new piece, "Romanza" was played by Heather Kaufman (mandola) and Joshua Paul (liuto) as a duet with the orchestra. Several waltzes were included in the programme with two from "Ring Round the Moon" by David Farquhar and Translateur's "Wiener Praterleben". Besides some emotive Russian tunes Handel's "Overture to St Cecilia" rounded out the programme. "Almond Icing" our in-house quartet entertained brilliantly in the interlude.
We attracted our biggest audience for 2011 and our retired players said we are playing better every year. Don't miss 2012. Our MD Bryan Holden will be leading us on to even greater things.
