Our birthday celebration was a huge success.

A big thank you to all who contributed to a successful MCO 10th birthday celebration: Tim organising the hall; Emily making a splendid birthday cake; Anne and her daughter supplying the decorations; Val submitting the article to the Free Press together with photos taken by Lynda’s husband for the website gallery, and everyone helping to set-up the room, contributing to a friendly community feel.

The programme of the evening was:

1st Movement, Minuet & Trio from the Jupiter Symphony by Mozart; The Snowman Suite by Howard Blake; Flute Dance by F Herold; White Christmas by I Berlin; Extracts from the Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky; and Gold & Silver by F Lehar.

The orchestra continues to welcome new players, we now have 29 on our register.

Here’s looking forward to the next 10 years!

The MCO are very pleased to have two new players join us during November: another excellent clarinettist, Becky, and Hattie as our second cello. We hope you enjoy playing with us.

The orchestra have been very pleased to welcome three new players recently, Lucy on flute, Louisa on cello and Clare on viola.

If you are a string or brass player and are free on Monday evenings, please contact MCO via the website.

It is good for our ‘well being’ to make music together, so come and join us!
