The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert

Following the period of lockdown restrictions Southport Orchestra was keen to return to performing again in December 2021 with a Christmas programme of light, seasonal music aided by the Woodlands Primary School Choir. Their 2022 season opened in March with a spring concert featuring guest soloist Heather Stark, a young, up and coming harpist.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is the focus of the orchestra’s summer concert scheduled for 9 th July. A range of patriotic, foot-tapping light classical music is a feature of this event with virtually everyone’s tastes being catered for.

The final concert of the 2022 season will take place on 3 rd December. Emmanuel Parish Church, Cambridge Road, Southport PR9 9PR, is the venue for all of this season’s concerts, each with a starting time of 7-30 pm.

On a sad note: RE “OUR LEADER” Sadly the Leader of Southport Orchestra passed away recently following a long illness. Doctor Melanie Foster had been the orchestra’s mainstay for a number of years and will be greatly missed by us all. Our thoughts are with her close family and friends.
