"16-year-old Bognor-based cellist James Dew, who has recently been awarded a place in the National Youth Orchestra, will play the first movement of Elgar’s cello concerto and Popper’s Tarantella. Mark Zarb-Adami will play Lizst’s Liebestraum and Earl Wild’s piano transcription of Gershwin’s Embraceable You, and Ian Clark will sing songs from shows. Flautist Paul Dorrell will play Chaminade’s Serenade aux Etoiles, and the Haydn Gypsy Rondo trio will be played by Gill Stevenson (violin), Elaine Monery (cello) and Chris Coote (piano). To complete the programme the Full House Wind Quintet, comprising Gerda Willcocks (flute), Spence Bundy (clarinet), John Prescott (horn), Clare Thornton-Wood (oboe) and Alison Woodward (bassoon) will play an arrangement of Piazzolla’s Libertango.”
