The programme for the free lunchtime concert at St Wilfrid’s Church had been carefully chosen to bring out the best of the clarinet from quiet thoughtful melodies to the more technically brilliant scale and arpeggio passages.

They opened the concert with Introduction, theme and variations by Rossini and followed this with two movements from a Clarinet Quintet by Heinrich Barmann.

Rex then played Nobody does it better by Marvin Hamlisch arranged by George Shearing to provide a different style and mood. Terry continued with two movements from the Clarinet Quartet Op 2 by Bernard Crusell before the theme from the Antiques Roadshow and the Carnaval de Venise brought a tuneful and light-hearted end to the concert.
