The annual charity concert on Sunday was a great success, both musically and in terms of raising funds for the British Heart Foundation & RP Fighting Blindness .
An eclectic mix of repertoire, all the music was concerned with a child’s vivid imagination, ranging from mysterious tales of the unexplained to dreams of heaven and the afterlife.
Performing alongside the orchestra of local professional and amateur musicians were dancers and singers from various schools in Worcestershire.
The music included Elgar’s Dream Children, Mahler’s Symphony No 4 (with inspiring young soloist Penelope May), Mussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition, and All God’s Creatures by Howard Blake (composer of The Snowman). This piece was well received, and we were very privileged to have the composer himself in the audience
