The Spring Concert was a great success. Hetta opened the concert with a performance of the 3^rd movement from Crusell’s 'Clarinet Concerto No. 2'. 

Hetta has a lovely silky tone, her delicate phrasing brought the piece to life. This was followed by Clara who played the 2^nd movement from Mozart’s 'Concerto in Bb for Bassoon'. Although the bassoon may not be the most famous solo instrument this piece of work is beautiful; Clara’s attention to phrasing and articulation was excellent.

All three choirs performed as did the Military Band, Brass & Percussion Ensemble and the String Quartet, however it was the Wind Quintet which stood out for me. They played Arnold’s 'Sea Shanty No.1'. This is a really tricky piece to perform, lots of interplay between the instruments with difficult runs and sudden changes in dynamics, the quintet were outstanding. A video and photo album from the concert can be seen below.

My congratulations to all involved.
