The programme for the evening includes Faure – ‘Pavane’, Chopin – ‘Berceuse’, Debussy – ‘Syrinx’, Rachmaninoff – ‘Preludes In C Minor’ and Bizet – ‘Carmen Fantasy’.

Little girls will love it!
The Little Mermaid will be staged on Saturday 10th May at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced £14 and £12 (concession), with tickets at only £8 for children.
