On this occasion the chosen charity was the Milford-on-Sea Primary School PFA’s early reading project who provided an excellent range of refreshments. What better way to encapsulate a winter theme than with Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt Suite No.1’. e concert started with the melodious and enchanting tunes of ‘Morning’, depicting an early morning in the Norwegian mountains and forests. e next movement was the somewhat mournful ‘ e Death of Ase’, however, the following ‘Anitra’s Dance’ brightened the mood considerably which led nicely into the fast and furious nale of ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’. Next, the wind and brass sections of the orchestra gave an excellent rendition of ‘Serenade in E Flat Major’ by Richard Strauss. e rst half of the concert concluded with the orchestra’s strings playing the ‘Capriol Suite’ by Warlock. e second half got under way with a reminder of the concert’s winter theme provided by Proko ev’s ‘Troike’ from the ‘Lieutenant Kije Suite’. is was followed by a most enjoyable performance of the ‘Rosamunde Overture’ by Schubert. Final images of winter were conjured up by Delius’s ‘Sleigh Ride’ and Elgar’s ‘ ree Bavarian Dances’ the last of which provided the most appreciative audience with a lively conclusion. By way of an encore the a ernoon finished with ‘Lymington Quay’ composed by the orchestra’s very own Tony Kitcherside. e Solent Concert Orchestra’s next performance is at Chandler’s Ford Methodist Church at 3pm on Saturday 11th March.

Groups who regularly use the hall have been really pleased with the outcome. In the future the Council is hoping to link the heaters to solar panels to reduce the carbon footprint of the building.
