Members of one of the country’s best-loved orchestras will perform two exciting concerts in Saltash this March.
A 14-member ensemble from the orchestra will be coming to Saltash Wesley Methodist Church on Thursday 7 March, 7.30pm. They will perform a new concert of film-inspired music, journeying from London’s historic West End to the glittering lights of Hollywood. The concert is presented and will include well-known favourites alongside lesser-known cinematic works. The programme is designed for families of all ages, new audiences, and seasoned concert goers alike. Tickets cost £6-£12.
On Friday 8 March, 2pm the orchestra’s ‘Teatime Trio’ will host a special dementia-friendly Cake Concert at Saltash Social Club. They will be performing well-known classics for all to enjoy with a piece of cake, a hot drink and good company. The afternoon is presented by the musicians who will give insights into their instruments and guide the audience through a mixed programme of classical repertoire and special arrangements of popular music from Bach to Joni Mitchell. Tickets cost £10 and include the tea and cake.
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra has an international reputation for their superb performances. Their world-class musicians include some of the finest players in the UK and they are renowned for taking music out of the concert halls and into the hearts of local communities.
Tickets for both events are available at www.saltarts.org or from Piglets Haberdashery Shop on Fore Street, Saltash.
This is the orchestra’s first ever visit to Saltash and has been organised in partnership with local cultural producers Salt Arts CIC and the Carn to Cove rural touring scheme for Cornwall.
