Last Saturday evening saw the Main Hall at the Maritime Museum in Falmouth filled with the sound of strings being plucked and cords be played with a concert by Music Cornwall’s Guitar Team.
The evening of guitar music was entitled Tales of Seafarers, Stowaways and Smugglers and included pieces composed especially for the evening.
The audience enjoyed performances by both the senior and junior ensembles plus a special rendition of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum’ by Goonhavern Primary School. The Woodfield Ensemble gave the first performance of Chris Fitkin’s My Harbour this was followed by two French songs beautifully sung by Katie Maundrell. The evening was finished off in rousing fashion with a surprise appearance by Falmouth Shout Shanty Singers.
Music Cornwall provides instrumental tuition at all levels, in all styles and in all disciplines to schools, colleges and music centres throughout Cornwall. The Service also provides classroom support at primary and secondary level and directs a variety of orchestras and ensembles for all abilities.
Peter Bone, County Music Advisor says: It was a fantastic evening and reflects the high quality of teaching that Music Cornwall provides.
Maritime Museum Education Manager Stuart Slade said: “We are delighted to support such a wonderful event. The Maritime Museum seemed to be the perfect venue for this musical celebration of seafarers and the sea and the junior players certainly got into the spirit of things with their fantastic pirate costumes.”
