Summer Concert by The Blackwood Clarinet Choir
On
Friday
2nd
June
2023,
the
Friends
of
St.
Mary’s
presented
a
Summer
Concert
by
the
Blackwood
Clarinet
Choir
.
The
church
resounded
to
the
magnificent
sound
of
fifteen
clarinets
as
they
played
a
varied
programme
of
music
from
both
well-known
and
not
so
well-known
composers.
See
the
full
programme
here.
We
were
also
privileged
to
hear
the
premier
performance
of
a
piece
by
the
Choir’s
musical
director,
Keiron Anderson,
as
well
as
other
compositions
of
his.
The
audience
were
both
surprised
and
enthralled
by
the
sounds
of
clarinets
of
all
shapes
and
sizes
and
the
evening
finished
all-too-quickly
with
everyone having enjoyed the evening tremendously.
The
event
raised
nearly
£900
for
the
Friends
of
St.
Mary’s
which
will
be
put
to
good
use
for
the
maintenance and improvement of St. Mary’s church.
