Programme Note
The church of St Peter will be lit by hundreds of candles, in memory of David Francombe, who did so much to encourage music-making in Petersfield. As well as enjoying the nation's favourite piece, 'Lark Ascending', music by Holst, Elgar and Keir Rowe, the audiene will be treated to award-winning soprano soloist, Milly Forrest, performing songs by Purcell and Vaughan Williams.
