The evening begun with wine, food and socialising, followed by Sinfonia Conductor Matthew Taylor giving a light-hearted introduction to Mozart’s Horn Concerto, which is to be played at the next concert in March.

Rossini... - Andante con Variazioni Saint-Saens - Fantaisie Piazzolla - Café 1930 and Bordel 1900 from L'Histoire du Tango Elgar - Chanson de Matin and Chanson de Nuit Monti - Czardas
Everyone who attended the evening very much appreciated the excellent work that had gone on by Matthew, Elizabeth and Sally to make the evening such a success and in such an intimate space.
