MANY thanks to BWCI Group for sponsorship of the Guernsey
Camerata Orchestra. On 5 February at St James, we attended a
superb children's concert. It was a sell-out. The music was
brilliantly chosen and included well-known works by Handel, Haydn,
Mozart and Bizet. The children were enraptured, tapping their feet
and clapping - some dancing in the aisles. After the interval, a
real treat welcomed us - Peter and the Wolf, by Prokofiev. The
narrator, Jenny Kendall-Tobias, provided just the right presence
to hold everyone's attention. Nick Davies, the conductor, was
perfect and a natural communicator to the children, giving them,
I'm sure, an introduction to and interest in live classical music
concerts which will last for the rest of their lives. We Guernsey
people are very fortunate to have so many gifted people providing
us with such enjoyment. For me, the cherry on the cake was the
programme, designed by my granddaughter, Penny Dawes, eight (she
won the competition). So, thanks again to all concerned. More
please. How about a children's Christmas concert, BWCI? |
