Enjoyable concert
We heard several marches and arrangements of hymn tunes, a beautiful piece by the percussionist Evelyn Glennie, called Little Prayer, on the merimba, a brilliant cornet solo and a piece called Reflections in Nature.
We joined in Jerusalem as a true Last Night of the Proms audience would do, then heard O Magnum Mysterium, a Classic FM favourite. Sing, Sing, Sing featured some brilliant percussion playing by a bandsman training as a Royal Marines musician.

The proceeds of the concert resulted in £130 being given to Mwokoeni children’s charity, which our church supports.
