Wolverton Light Orchestra Summer Concert with guest soloist Raymond Burley on Saturday, 16th July, 2022

A delightful summer concert on a very warm summer evening!


Wolverton Light Orchestra were due to perform in St Mary & St Giles Church on 21st March 2020 and this evening we were very pleased to welcome them for their first public performance since that cancellation. It was well worth the wait.

 

The Orchestra filled the church with their amazing sound and entertained the audience with a varied programme:

      • Allegro in C - Mozart
      • Ancient Airs and Dances - Respighi
      • Sheep May Safely Graze - Bach
      • Raymond Burley - soloist
      • Henry VIII - Shepherds Dance & Morris Dance
      • Water Music - Hornpipe and Finale
      • Folk Songs Suite 1st movement - Vaughan Williams
      • Serenade for Small Orchestra - Mathias
      • Raymond Burley - soloist
      • Girl With The Flaxen Hair -Debussy
      • Clock Symphony (Haydn) - Finale

    Guest soloist, guitarist Raymond Burley

    The audience had the chance to participate briefly, in providing the percussion introduction on hassocks - this was a first and a very pleasing sound was produced!
    We all had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and look forward to the Orchestra's return.
