In between, there will be a piccolo solo, Silver Birds, a xylophone duet, The Two Imps and a euphonium solo, Fleurette, I shall never forget, written by popular song-writer, Haydn Wood, each performed by PCO members.

Julian Davies, a member of the PCO and retired LRGS music teacher has written a new work entitled, Lucia’s Dance.

There is also Sullivan’s Mascarade Suite and period-piece marches, waltzes and novelty items to entertain audiences. Surrounded by palms and aspidistras in Morecambe’s own Palm Court, The Platform concert will be held on Sunday April 2 at 3pm.

All the music performed has been collected from around the country but is in the PCO’s founder and conductor, Howard Rogerson’s own collection.
