95003 May 2011 programme text.qxd:Layout 2 11/5/11 08:24 Page 3Welcome“Welcome tonight to Milton Keynes CityOrchestra’s Mayor’s Concert, I hope you willenjoy this evening’s programme which features two epicworks. I have been familiar with Grieg’s Piano Concertofor most of my life as it was a great favourite of myGrandfather & we still have that well worn old record.I am indebted to the Milton Keynes City Orchestra forenabling me to round of my Mayoral year in support ofthe two local charities I have been championing thisyear, they are Bletchley Park & Willen Hospice. We havebeen selling tickets for the Mayor’s Draw for a GoldenEgg designed by Sarah Faberge in support of bothcharities and during the concert will be announcing thewinning ticket, so if you have purchased tickets, thankyou – I hope your ticket will be the lucky ticket tonight!Milton Keynes is incredibly fortunate to have a CityOrchestra; they do a huge amount towards the culturaloffer of the City but their work also goes so muchfurther. They support young musicians, work alongsidethose with learning disabilities and the elderly as well astaking classical music into some of the most deprivedareas of the city. This work often goes unreported, but our City Orchestra is a very important part oflife in Milton Keynes, they enrich the lives of our community as a whole.The Mayor of Milton Keynes is a role that lasts only one year and for me my year will end in two daystime, so this is the last major event of the year. I have greatly enjoyed the role, it has been the mostenormous honour to have been given such a privileged insight into just how much goes on in our cityand I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone I have met this year for the time they havegiven me.I hope you enjoy soloist Noriko Ogawa & the Milton Keynes City Orchestra’s performance tonightunder the excellent baton of the brilliant Sian Edwards.“My warmest regardsPre Concert Charity Receptionkindly sponsored by SantanderDebbieWorking in partnership with MK GalleryFor booking and information call : 01908 558311 3
