St. Olave's Hart Street 17th December 2009

The Globe Quintet returned to St. Olave's for the final concert in the Church's lunchtime season. A fun programme starting with Mozart's Magic Flute Overture and Zemlinksy's Humoreske and culminating in Tales from the Vienna Woods by Johann Strauss and Bill Holcombe's fun arrangement of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Saturday November 14th All Saints Church, Lockinge, Oxfordshire, 7.30pm

The Globe Wind Quintet played a light-hearted programme of highly entertaining music from around the world, including pieces by Bizet, Gershwin, and Ravel.

The evening featured wines and cheeses from different countries to match the music’s country of origin and raised a sizeable amount for charity - divided between the Church and Water Aid - www.wateraid.org/uk/
