St Mary’s Music
St Mary's Church, Thornbury
We are delighted to welcome the Phoenix Recorder Orchestra as our guests on this occasion. The orchestra was founded in 2003 and mostly consists of players from the South West.
They play a wide range of repertoire on a full range of recorders, ranging from the tiny garklein to the contrabass which blend to a beautiful rich sound. They are directed by Michelle Holloway, who is a recorder tutor at the Birmingham Conservatoire and the National Youth Recorder Orchestra.
Sunday afternoon concerts take place on the third Sunday in the month at 4.00pm and last approximately an hour. Light refreshments follow.
The performers are drawn from the local area and there are singers, instrumentalists, choirs and instrumental ensembles – something to suit all tastes.
Admission is free, but there is a retiring collection, with all profits going to the Music Fund of St. Mary’s Church.
