It's that time of year...

Last night we were at another Christmas Concert. Two nights out in one week: how the Trovati live it up!

This one was at the school, so Charlie and Dominique were in the orchestra.  For some reason Grandma chose not to come - can't imagine why...

Actually, the school orchestra are reasonably good: strings stronger than sometimes, brass and flutes good, a bit lacking in confidence in the clarinets, and percussion entertaining.

It was another good mixed programme, though, with soloists and the choir and smaller ensembles all making contributions.  The cheapest music this time was Lennon and McCartney (Michelle), and attentive readers will have detected my weakness for the Beatles, so that was OK, and All I want for Christmas is you, which was lamentable...

Highlights were a lively performance of Gaudete by the Chamber Choir, and the Orchestra's Bizet (Farandole)

The soloists all acquitted themselves well, too, and the punch at the interval was very good!
