Wonderful Concert at Sandon Hall

Those of us who were fortunate enough to attend our fund raising concert on 1st July held at Sandon Hall were treated to an amazing event as we heard from three performers from The Birmingham Conservatoire. This the second time the Conservatoire have visited Sandon Hall to support our fundraising and they provided a wonderfully varied programme which made a most memorable evening.

The performers were:
Victoria Harley - soprano who has just returned from singing The Magic Flute.
Alex Hocknull - French horn player who makes guest appearances in the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra
Jonathan French - pianist who is the Principal Accompanist at The Conservatoire and a brilliant solo performer too.
The programme was varied and Victoria, Alex and Jonathan had gone to the trouble of finding a piece that combined voice with French Horn and Piano - quite an unusual combination.
It is difficult to single out any of the pieces as all were excellent but we have noted one from each performer:
Victoria -  Der Hölle Rache ( Queen of the Night aria from Mozart’s The Magic Flute).
Alex - Introduction, Theme and Variations by Franz Strauss
Jonathan - Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin.

Our thanks to everyone involved in making this a great night and a massive thank you to Sandon Hall too.

Our next concert is on Wednesday 3rd December and details on how to get tickets are in the Events section of this website.
