Over 80 members of the Winchester Music Society on Friday April 4th to hear one of their own number, Jean Palmer, present a programme of music that she never tired of hearing.
It included Haydn's Symphony No 88 in G Major, played by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
In the 3rd Movement - notturno - of Borodin's String Quartet No 2 in D major, Jean said she particularly liked the way the cello "spoke" to the violins.
A short extract, La ci darem la mano, from Mozart's Don Giovanni served as an introduction for Chopin's Variations in B flat major on the same piece played by the pianist, Nickolai Demidenko.
Franz Scharwenka's Piano concerto No 4 in F minor, played by Stephen Hough, with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra provided a lively start to the second half which concluded with John Shirley-Quirk singing an extract from Elgar's The Light of Life, Op 29.
