St. Mark’s Church, Woodthorpe (7:30 p.m.)
The Boots Orchestra played a great concert in aid of The Helen Loewenstein Memorial Trust www.hlmt.org.uk at St Mark’s Church, Woodthorpe. A highlight was Saint-Saens’s 3rd violin concerto, with Megumi Rolfe, soloist in residence at the Boots Orchestra, playing beautifully. The programme also included the Overture to “Mirella” by Gounod, Masquerade from “The Merchant of Venice” by Sullivan; Pavane by Faure; and Selection from the opera “Henry VIII” by Saint-Saens. Over ninety people enjoyed a lovely evening and over £1,000 was added to HLMT funds to provide grants to Liberian midwifery students who otherwise could not afford the study and accommodation fees. That’s a great result! Huge thanks go to the Boots Orchestra, St Mark’s church and the HLMT trustees and supporters who helped on the night.
