Flautissimo

Beautiful weather, a beautiful venue and beautiful music - what better way could there be to spend a summer afternoon? Both Flautissimo and Piccolissimo performed for visitors to the gardens who enjoyed a varied programme of music. The Can-can and Mexican Hat Dance went down particularly well!

At our home venue of St Martins in the Wood, Chandlers Ford we were joined by the saxophone players of Saxophony. The first half started with us playing Flautista. This was the first time that we have played this set of tricky but wonderful set of Latin dances. We then played the beautiful Oblivion and a Vivaldi concerto. Piccolissimo then took to the stage and gave a very impressive performance. Either side of the interval (lots of cake!) Saxophony played a selection of film music and some old favourites.  Flautissimo then returned with Out of their Rinds, Earth with Jo our MD as the soloist and Defying Gravity. The evening was rounded off with Flautissimo, Piccolissimo and Saxophony playing Jo's evocative arrangement of Nunc Dimittis with a solo flute and saxophone player.

It was a beautiful sunny day for us to play a selection of carols and seasonal music at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Romsey. The fine weather brought out lots of visitors who enjoyed listening to us playing festive music as they entered the gardens.
