We’d like to invite other players, friends and family, to join us for our very last session of the summer term on 10 July. Music will include BBC arrangements of Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird’ and Tchaikovsky’s ‘Russian Dance’, as well as Mozart’s ‘Ave verum corpus’, ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles, ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’ made famous by Edith Piaf, and the beautiful ‘Shuna’ by Lizelle Kirby, who used to conduct Morpeth Cobwebs. There will be opportunities for some audience participation, as we will have plenty of extra percussion available for ‘The Toy Symphony’. There’ll be drinks and nibbles, a raffle, a ‘name the bear’ competition (composers’ names, of course!) and possibly a fun music quiz. Everyone is welcome. Please come!
The Elvaston Ensemble (Chrissie, Anita, Tracy and Rye) had their very own concert in St Mary’s Church in Shincliffe to raise money for Ludworth Cobwebs and the ‘If U Care Share Foundation’. It was an enjoyable evening in a lovely setting.
Elvet Methodist Church presented a concert at Ushaw College in aid of Global Care Street Children in Guatemala City. British Flute Society winner Michael Cave performed very beautiful flute music and was also joined by fellow Cobwebbers, Chrissie Macgregor on flute and Tracy Reed on clarinet. The Cabaret Ensemble with Andy Jackson added their usual entertaining mix of music to the programme. The audience were also treated to prosecco and strawberries.
