Solent Concert Orchestra summer concert SOLENT Concert Orchestra gave what must have been one of the first performances by an amateur orchestra during Covid when they played outside Bramshaw Village Hall recently. The concert, under the baton of their musical director Simon Wilkins, was in aid of the Village Hall Trust which is striving to overcome the serious structural damage caused by a freak storm last year. Social distancing was in force but this did not prevent the event being very well supported by both the villagers and the orchestra’s loyal supporters, including its long-standing patron Dr. Julian Lewis MP.
