Sophie Rosa (violin) and Nicholas Oliver (piano) provided a terrific ending to the Middlewich and District Concerts Society's 25th season. The packed audience was ample evidence of the level of anticipation these players engender and they were not disappointed.
The concert began with sonatas by Mozart (K305) and Beethoven (Opus 24, "Spring"). These are quite lively pieces and were played with confidence and vigour, leaving the audience spell-bound. The first half concluded with arrangements by Heifetz of two pieces from Porgy & Bess, "Bess, you is my woman now" and "It ain't necessarily so". The lazy strains were a relaxing complement to the earlier works and left the audience ready to enjoy the half-time refreshments (which included wine and nibbles to celebrate the end of the 25th Season).
