Many thanks to all the performers involved in our Christmas Cornucopia weekend, two nights of music-making that brought together University Chorus and Orchestra, Concert Band, String Sinfonia and the Flute Choir in festive style.<\/p>\n

The opening night was shared by the String Sinfonia and Concert Band, exploring music by Piazzolla, Corelli and film music by Danny Elfmann, all prefaced by seasonal music performed in the foyer before the concert began by some of the Flute Choir.<\/p>\n

Saturday night brought together Chorus and Orchestra in Vivaldi’s evergreen Gloria<\/em>, for which we were joined by soloists Juliet Schiemann and Michelle Harris, as well as the sparkling\u00a0Cinderella Suite<\/em> by composer Ernest Tomlinson – we were delighted to welcome the late composer’s daughter, Anne, to the performance.<\/p>\n
