Soroptimist International Tenby and District recently held their third fundraising event of the year to support local charities. The event was a great success and provided a splendid concert of first class musical entertainment for a very appreciative audience. Held at St. Mary's Church, Tenby, the concert consisted of a wide repertoire of choral and instrumental music provided by the inTune Choir. The choir consists of an enthusiastic group of young people under the leadership of their conductor Andrew Cusworth, an organ scholar and Cambridge music graduate. Andrew is currently deputy choirmaster and organist to Dr.John Harries at St. Mary's Church. This was inTune's first full and unsupported concert and it was as great a success in musical terms as any other. The programme was both varied and colourful, consisting of many pieces far removed from standard choral repertoire, as well as some more familiar items. Amongst the lesser known pieces were a number of rounds and canons by the composer Thomas Ravenscroft, as well as some new arrangements of folk songs, and the rarely heard 'My eyes for beauty pine' by Herbert Howells. The better known works included two of the 'Nine melodies for Archbishop Parker's Psalter' by Thomas Tallis, 'The Lamb' by John Tavener (no mean achievement for a youthful choir), and the original version of the ancient carol 'Gaudete Christus est Natus', which was popularised by Steeleye Span at the end of the 1960s. The whole programme was sung with great verve and musicality in a performance by a choir that is clearly unafraid of enjoying itself through music. The choral items were interspersed with performances by six soloists: Charlotte Treharne and Lucy Morris gave fine renditions of 'I have dreamed' and 'I know a man' from Rodgers' and Hammerstein's 'The King and I'; Danielle Harries played 'Romance' for clarinet by Edward German with characteristic tenderness; Litona Harries gave a subtle and engaging performance of the second movement of Carl Maria von Weber's Bassoon Concerto; Catherine Jewson gave an emotive and mature performance of the final recitative and ground of Henry Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas'; and Catherine Hare gave such a mesmerising recital of 'Hypnosis' for flute by Ian Clarke that it truly lived up to its name. Through out the performance the audience were entranced and were disappointed that the evening had to come to an end. The quality of the performance was excellent and the talent of the young people involved enthralled everyone present. These young people are certainly capable of 'going far' in the musical world. It is hoped that they will have every success in the future. Soroptimist International Tenby and District wish to thank all of the young people concerned for their help in this fundraising venture, they are a credit to the local community.
