West Norfolk Music Centre’s combined wind band, orchestra and choir entertained shoppers at Tesco Hardwick this afternoon with a selection of seasonal favourites.
Many thanks to all who took part or supported this event. And if you’d like to take part next year, join us now.
Well done to all who played in our December concert on Saturday. Finland (and seasonal trips to Lapland) may be short of snow this year, but we had both Sibelius’s Finlandia and an abundance of seasonal cheer this weekend.
Amongst settings of Christmas favourites, we also heard Elizabethan music set for wind band, young singers, a bassoon solo and Mozart from our string players.
Before the music, Certificates were awarded to our exam candidates for their outstanding performance last term: 14 exams entered, 4 passed with distinction and 9 with merit. Don’t forget that we offer exam candidates the chance to play at our open concerts in February and May at the exam centre — and that members and non-members are welcome to take part in these concerts too.
Although our term is now finished, come along to see us play and sing (or to join in) at Tesco Hardwick, King’s Lynn, on Saturday afternoon, 8 December!
A big thank you to all at West Norfolk Music Centre who made our concert a success on Saturday, we’re now looking forward to singing and playing Christmas music at Tesco Hardwick on Saturday 16th December, 2-4pm
Shoppers at Marks and Spencer, King’s Lynn, were treated to Christmas favourites and new songs from Aldeburgh Music’s Friday Afternoons project this morning, including the rip-roaring ‘Mad Moon’ and the gently seasonal ‘Snow’.
Well done to all our singers, for more photos see our Facebook page or upload your own!
For more music from West Norfolk Centre, pop along to Tesco Hardwick next Sunday afternoon, or come along and join us in the New Year.
West Norfolk Youth Choir will be performing Christmas favourites and new songs on Saturday 10 December, 10.30am to 11.30am, at Marks and Spencer, King’s Lynn.
Drop in at any time and stay for as long as you like. There will be a collection, with proceeds shared between the East Anglian Air Ambulance and the choir.
So, all our trees and lights are down, we’re back at school and (if you were lucky enough to get a break!) work, it’s twelfth night and the weather has reversed back into autumn.
Here’s a reminder, in pictures, of the hard work our members put in to our Christmas music extravaganza at Tesco in King’s Lynn.
Come and hear members of our wind bands, orchestra and choirs sing and play Christmas music in the foyer of Tesco, Hardwick, King’s Lynn, on Monday 22 December, 6-8pm.
Open to all, come and go as you please!
