Concert PosterLaura IsaacsonThe Orchestra's third concert took place on Saturday, 10th May 2008 at 7.30pm in the church of St Cyprian's, Clarence GateThe French-themed programme opened with Mozart's spirited Symphony No. 31 'Paris' (composed during the composer's somewhat ill-fated visit to the French capital in 1778), and was followed by Saint-Saëns' elegant Cello Concerto No.1 -  played by gifted young cellist Laura Isaacson (left).

After the interval, Hannah Stone joined the strings for Debussy's exquisite showpiece for harp, Danse sacrée et danse profane.  The concert concluded with a somewhat  rare outing for the complete ballet version of Ravel's 'Ma mère l'oye' (Mother Goose) - a ravishingly orchestrated evocation of fairy tales and the enchantment of childhood.
