What happened to Little Red Riding Hood as she went through the forest? Is there another animal as vile as Crocky-Wock the crocodile? Do Bilbo and Legolas reach their destinations? And will you ever slam a door again? The answers to these questions and more will be presented in this quirky concert featuring the Zephyr Wind Quintet, pianist Diedre Irons and other leading instrumentalists.

Oliver Hancock: Three Tolkien Miniatures
Paul Patterson: Rebecca (who slammed doors for fun and perished miserably)

Martin Butler: Dirty Beasts
