Excellent ensemble playing by all seven artists of the Wakeford Ensemble opened the concert last night with the lovely Flute and Harp Concerto by Mozart. Outstanding were the harp Lucy Wakeford and the flute Adam Walker. We were then taken forward over 100 years to the well-loved Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp by Debussy. Viola Fiona Bonds joined Lucy and Adam to give a splendid performance.

After the interval, Benjamin Nabarro violin joined Lucy for the Fantasy for Violin and Harp by Saint-Saëns which was played with superb panache. Finally, after a new work by Howard Skempton, written specially for the Wakeford Ensemble, the concert ended with the wonderful Introduction and Allegro by Ravel with the full ensemble back on the stage.

So ended  the last concert of the season which will be remembered for the varied and attractive programme and the dazzling performance of all the artists.
