95003 May 2011 programme text.qxd:Layout 2 11/5/11 08:24 Page 3Welcome“Welcome tonight to <strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong> <strong>City</strong><strong>Orchestra</strong>’s Mayor’s <strong>Concert</strong>, I hope you willenjoy this evening’s programme which features two epicworks. I have been familiar with Grieg’s Piano <strong>Concert</strong>ofor 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 <strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong> 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!<strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong> is incredibly fortunate to have a <strong>City</strong><strong>Orchestra</strong>; they do a huge amount towards the culturaloffer of the <strong>City</strong> 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 <strong>City</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong> is a very important part oflife in <strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong>, they enrich the lives of our community as a whole.The Mayor of <strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong> 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 <strong>Milton</strong> <strong>Keynes</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong>’s performance tonightunder the excellent baton of the brilliant Sian Edwards.“My warmest regardsPre <strong>Concert</strong> Charity Receptionkindly sponsored by SantanderDebbieWorking in partnership with MK GalleryFor booking and information call : 01908 558311 3
