A BROMSGROVE music project is set to again entertain residents at a Easter performance.

The Orchestra of St John’s Church invites local players and members of youth music projects to participate, and is designed to prepare them for the church’s main orchestra.

The venture is the brainchild of Bromsgrove residents Alastair and Cathy Moseley, Sue Peters and Colin Butterworth, and is designed to extend the church’s already significant musical activity.

On Saturday, April 7, the project will be performing for the second time at the Kidderminster Road-based church.

The first half of the concert will see the string players of the orchestra perform Sir Edward Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and Benjamin Britten’s Les Illuminations, with soprano soloist Claire Prewer from Worcester.

After a break, there will be a special Easter performance of the Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Conductor, Richard Jenkinson will direct the choir and orchestra during Requiem, the last work written before Mozart died in 1791.

The orchestra first performed last December, gaining rave reviews.

The concert starts at 7.30pm, and tickets are priced at £10 each. Children. accompanied by an adult, go free.

Interval refreshments and a programme are included in the price.

Tickets are available from the Parish Office by calling 01527 878801, or on the door.
