Sonnet Wind Orchestra – 27th May, EVH!
Good news! As some residents may have read last month, the Sonnet Wind Orchestra is coming to Eynsford Village Hall on Saturday 27th May.
The Orchestra is a pool of mainly professional and ex-professional musicians where membership is by invitation – this means that the Orchestra can always maintain the highest of standards as anyone at the concert in Shoreham Church last year will confirm. Even the, shall we say, more mature members of the audience were dancing in the aisles!
The Orchestra has over 30 members (squeezing them all onto the stage will be interesting!) and they are drawn from all over south east England. It has already established an enviable reputation, not only for its high standards and versatility but also for its imaginative programming. The audience is treated to a concert of music of all styles, containing a mixture of popular classics, songs from shows, film scores with.music from Irving Berlin, via Puccini to the Beatles. For this concert there will also be a special focus on Eynsford composers and celebrities associated with the Darent Valley.
The musicians have done numerous charity concerts and they are giving their services for nothing, with all proceeds will go towards the new Eynsford Village Hall.
Tickets are only £10 online at https://buytickets.at/eynsfordvillagehall with tickets on the door at £12 (half price for under 18s) or by email to polychormus@gmail.com There will be a pay bar.
So come along for a rather special evening – but hurry, we know that tickets for this will sell fast!
