The programme will include elements from both of the St Marks programmes.

If you come to any of the concerts, do please come over and say hello afterwards.

It's a good group, you would enjoy hearing them. Last year we played the Brahms Serenade in D in an arrangement I made for 13 winds. BBC Radio 3 broadcast two movements of it in their Play to the Nation series on October 2nd last year.
