Blackwater Valley Wind Quintet share a music teaching background in Surrey and Hampshire. As well as playing and performing together regularly, its members perform individually and in many other groups and orchestras. They are Barbara Sykes (Flute), Jane Cleaver (Oboe), Andy Norris (Clarinet), Tim Jones (Horn) and Paula Burton (Bassoon).
The Poppy Factory is hosting the performance its centenary celebrations in 2022, alongside a series of hosted discovery sessions for small groups and individual visitors throughout the summer.
All proceeds from the concert will go towards the charity’s employment service, helping veterans with health conditions across England and Wales to transform their lives.
Deirdre Mills, Chief Executive of The Poppy Factory, said: “We are grateful to Blackwater Valley Wind Quintet for agreeing to give this one-off performance. It will offer a truly unique way to experience The Poppy Factory in our centenary year, while also raising vital funds to help more veterans on their journey into employment.”
