The concert was generally sea-themed and also featured a range of performances from Wakefield Cathedral Choir, James Bowstead and Alana Brook on the organ and the stunning vocal group “Ensemble Pro Victoria”.  There were also a series of readings from guest speakers about sea rescue and the story of Grade Darling.

Our string quartet played two movements from Gustav Holst’s St. Paul’s Suite and a rousing arrangement of I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside.  The brass quintet from QEGS started the concert with a fanfare on Old Hundredth and played a lyrical piece by Kamen, which sung out in the fabulous acoustic of the Cathedral.
