The music, played on a variety of instruments, was very much enjoyed by those present.
After a very close competition, the winner was adjudged to be 12-year-old Steffan Ciccotti, of Langdon, near Jeffreyston, who gave an excellent performance on an unusual instrument not often seen in this country. The marimba is an African keyboard instrument resembling a large xylophone. A typical instrument will include five octaves of rosewood or similar hardwood keys and is played with two, three or four mallets, which have wool or rubber ends.
The marimba is amongst the most difficult of percussion instruments to play, but Steffan, a pupil at Greenhill School, Tenby, clearly showed in his performance of Bach's F Major Invention (requiring four mallets) that even at his young age, he had gone a long way in mastering the difficult technique needed to play this complex instrument.
In second place was pianist Gareth Morgan (14) and third was Laurie Thomas (17), also on piano.
The judges were Chris King, Bobby Main, John James and Harry Cawood.
Steffan was presented with a cheque for £50 and the PJ Promotions Challenge Shield by president Keith Leighfield.
"May I congratulate all the competitors for their very high level of performances," he said. "Thanks are also especially due to Rotarian Neil Jackson for organising the evening.
"May I also thank the staff of Nantyffyn Hotel for their hospitality, the judges for their time and expertise and the parents and the audience for making this a special evening," added president Keith.
Steffan will now go on represent the Rotary Club of Narberth and Whitland at next year's zone competition.
