West Norfolk Wind Orchestra Christmas concert raises funds for King’s Lynn Night Shelter
There was festive fun for all ages when music lovers were treated to a Christmas concert – with audience members also helping to raise more than £200 for the homeless in the area.
Hosted by Lynn’s Springwood High School, the West Norfolk Wind Orchestra (WNWO) performance took place on Sunday, December 14, with those attending invited to make a donation to charity.
Around £220 was raised for the Lynn Night Shelter.
Robin Norman, director of music at Springwood, as well as founder of the WNWO, said: “All the pieces performed were either Christmas or family-orientated, so everything was suitable for children.
“The highlights were definitely ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’, as used in Disney Fantasia with Mickey Mouse as the apprentice, and ‘Peter and the Wolf’.
“Springwood is really proud to work with our local community on a number of different projects.
“Our community music initiative is there to work with local musicians and to bridge the gaps from the fantastic work being undertaken by organisations such as the West Norfolk Music centre, and higher-level organisations such as the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra.”
