Programme Note
Travel the world and into space at Monmouth Orchestra’s Christmas Concert
You can travel around the world and into space with Monmouth Concert Orchestra at their Christmas concert in December.
The orchestra will take you to Africa with Rossini’s Italian Girl in Algiers, South America with Fiesta Argentina and Tico Tico and to outer space with the theme to Star Trek.
Orchestra members, Jane Pelham and Ken Hunt have both composed new music for the orchestra which will be performed at the concert.
There will be plenty of Christmas music too with Leroy Anderson’s Christmas Festival and Vaughan Williams’ Christmas.
The concert is at 4pm on Sunday, December 1st in St Nicholas Church, Trellech.
Tickets cost £8 for adults (under 16s free) and will be available on the door.
There will be a retiring collection for a local charity.
Monmouth Concert Orchestra consists of amateur musicians from Ross on Wye, Chepstow, Abergavenny, Raglan, the Forest of Dean and Monmouth. It meets once a fortnight during term times and is always keen to hear from potential new players. Its members range from 18 – 80 and there are no auditions although players are usually Grade V standard or above. Find out more about the orchestra at www.monmouthorchestra.co.uk
