❤️🎶 Our next concert is a prelude to St Valentine's Day, with Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture followed by selected movements from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet Suites 1 & 2. Then, as that is not enough tugging of heartstrings, we present Saint-Saëns' mighty third symphony, the 'Organ'.
Dark green and black concert poster overlaying a draped red silk background. At the top of the poster is the Wolsey Orchestra logo (in cream and red) above a thin line of turquoise organ pipes. In the centre to the left is a list of composers (in cream) and pieces (in green and red). To the right is an image depicting a statue of a couple embracing romantically. The statue is surrounded by roses and vines, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. Below this is a dark green banner with the names of our conductor (Andrew Morley) and leader (Dan Kent). Concert date (Saturday 7 February 2026 at 7.30pm in red text) and venue details (The Apex logo in white) is at the bottom of the poster.

Each movement represents an individual painting. Stroll through the gallery past The Gnome and The Old Castle to the Tuileries Garden where we hear children playing. Our visit continues past a market and catacombs, to The Great Gate of Kiev; the climatic finale of this celebrated composition. 🖼️🎶🎻🎺📯🥁

Text to the right reads: Magical music from Harry Potter in this enjoyable medley of endearing themes from the marvellous movies.
