SATURDAY, July 2 saw the much awaited return of the Worcestershire Symphony Orchestra and it was certainly worth the wait. We had a full Church to enjoy a lively and well thought out programme of Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart, Tartini and Haydn. The playing was of an extremely high standard and met by rapturous applause, super programme and super conducting again by Keith Slade. Everyone enjoyed wine & canapes and mingling at the interval, making it a lovely event. We hope this will now become an annual event at Christ Church. It is wonderful to be able to welcome an orchestra of this calibre to our Church and at affordable prices too. Our next concert is even more affordable!! The Suzuki School of International Music will return on Saturday 6 August 7.30 p.m. , entry is free with donations to Church Roof Funds and once again refreshments available, tea, coffee, home-made cakes. Please come. Visit www.christchurch-Malvern.org.uk for all our details. Meanwhile we look forward to seeing you at our Saturday Book Fair 10am-12noon.
