<h2><i>St Lawrence Church was delighted to host an afternoon of entertaining music for four saxophones! The concert featured soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones played throughout as a quartet. The music journeyed through time, starting with one of the earliest saxophone quartets written in 1857 and ending with Latin dance character pieces composed in the last few years by Fabio Calzavara. In between there was a range of interesting music from the 20th and 21st century. The interval provided a welcome break for the instrumentalists who were performing in hot conditions at the front of the church and a chance for the audience to enjoy tea and home made cake and step outside to enjoy the view from the churchyard or mingle with friends and meet new people. </i></h2>
On 16th August at 3:30pm St Lawrence Church will host an afternoon of entertaining music for four saxophones! The concert will feature soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones and tea and home made cake will be served in the interval. Founded in 2012 by their director Louisa Davidson, the members of the Worcester Saxophone Quartet are all qualified, accomplished and experienced musicians. They enjoy playing the classical saxophone quartet repertoire alongside exploring more contemporary style pieces, including jazz and tangos, often written and arranged by saxophonists themselves.Admission will be £15, inclusive of refreshments, payable on the door. If wished, places can be reserved in advance by contacting one of the churchwardens. Children are welcome to come for free. Proceeds from the concert will be divided equally between the quartet and the church.
<h4>On Sunday 12th July, our organist Henry played a great voluntary at the end of the service then immediately swapped his music for a strimmer and began tackling the long grass in the upper churchyard! He was joined by the Morrises and the Nicklins and in 30 degree heat the vegetation was cut back and raked up thanks to the hard work of all involved. It didn't take much to fill the green bin and the rest of the cuttings were left in the sun ready to refill the bin in the week.</h4><h3>HUGE THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED SO FAR. </h3><h4>There is still more to do, mainly focusing on the lower churchyard. The plan is to continue the work at <b>2pm next Sunday 19th</b>. If you are free and feel able to help, please come along, bringing any suitable garden tools (rake/ strimmer/ secateurs) with you if you have them, but otherwise, just bring yourselves to take a turn. Email <u>BOHChurch@outlook.com</u> if you have any queries. </h4>
