ST Peter’s Church in Inkberrow will once again be the venue for an ambitious orchestral concert in aid of the child victims of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Jenny Powis has for the twelfth successive year organised the event, which has raised thousands of pounds for this worthy cause.
The concert also raises funds for the fabric of St Peter’s church.
The players in the Inkberrow Sinfonia are drawn from professional and semi-professional musicians in the local area under the direction of the distinguished conductor, Richard Laing. The concert opens with Beethoven’s stirring Prometheus overture, to be followed by The Banks of Green Willow – a poignant, descriptive piece by George Butterworth, an English composer of huge promise who was killed on the Somme in 1916.
The orchestra will then be joined by the celebrated clarinettist, Robert Plane, in Weber’s second clarinet concerto.
The final work after the interval is a great orchestral favourite, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor.
In the beautiful surroundings of Inkberrow’s 12th century church, this promises to be a rare musical treat.
The concert is Saturday, September 20 at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £10 from Jenny Powis on 01386 792909 or from the post office in Inkberrow.
