A quintet of professionals gave a concert in the huge St. Mary's Church in Penzance, the evening of July 28th.  Pieces included Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Bartok, Lerner & Lowe, Joplin and Gershwin.

Outstanding was the performance of Ray Carpenter, now retired over 35 years as Principle Clarinetist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

A violinist, a pianist and oboist and a young tenor with a tremendous voice added much to the programme.  The young lady who played the oboe also sang.

I felt I was at a pops concert with the symphony.   Another highlight of my trip to Britain.
