The Barry Solomon Trio: Barry Solomon – oboe, Serena Leader – violin, Derek Holland – Keyboard
A gala concert supported by the Rotary Club of the Studios & Elstree and Borehamwood, in aid of Spinal Muscular Atrophy UK, (SMA UK) raised over £500.00 for this supported charity for the club’s president for 2024-25, Sam Covill.
In attendance was the Mayor of Elstree and Borehamwood for 2024-25 Cllr Alpha Colins and his consort, Revd Louise Collins., along with the president of Elstree Mozart Players Cllr John Graham.
This concert was highly anticipated, as it is not every day a renowned international opera singer such as Janice Watson appearances at a small urban church in outer London, Hertfordshire. Her association with Derek Holland and the Elstree Mozart Players goes back a few years now, long may it continue.
The support act was pretty good too, Barry Solomon – principal oboist, Serena Leader – violinist in 1st violins from The Elstree Mozart Players and of course their conductor – Derek Holland.
The Trio began with Bach’s concerto in C minor for Oboe & Violin with Derek on Keyboard. The playing was bright and clear with spot on tempi, a joy to hear. The audience gave them hearty applause.
Janice then took to the stage and sung 3 Lieder by Richard Strauss – Aller Soehlen, Morgen and Zueignung, Derek accompanied her on Keyboard. A ravishing treat for the ears, her voice was glorious in every part of her range. We were all spellbound and applauded loudly at the end.
Serena Leader followed this with 2 well-loved saloon works by Elgar – Salut d’amour and Chasson de Martin, with Derek Accompanying. A satisfying and complimentary foil to the songs Janice had just sung.
Janice returned to the stage, to sing arias from the world of opera. She began with Vissi d’Arte from Puccini’s Tosca and filled the church with a magnificent sound. Next, she sung Mimi’s aria from Act 3 of Puccini’s La Boheme, the pathos and beauty she projected were palpable. She finished this section with Softly awakes my heart from Samson and Delilah by Saint-Saens. A wonderful colouring of her voice brought out he pleading and flirtatious elements of Delilah’s words.
Serena and Barry returned for 2 pieces from films. Firstly, the lovely theme from Schindler’s List, with Barry playing the Cor Anglais part, lifted straight from the original orchestral score. Next, Barry gave us another glorious tune from The Mission, Gabriel’s Oboe. Derek filling in the rest of the orchestra for both pieces on the Keyboard.
To finish the first half, Janice sung 3 numbers from Musicals, beginning with a Rodger’s and Hammerstein cracker, The Hills are alive, from The Sound of Music. The Church was alive with the sound of music, beautifully sung. The second number was Bill, by Jerome Kern from Showboat and what wonderfully expressive singing from Janice. The final number, Roxie from Chicago by Kander & Ebb, a sassy and saucy song and Janice didn’t hold back on either. A real hit with the audience.
To begin the second half, Serena played a Kreisler gem, Praeludium & Allegro, a fantastic display of technical brilliance, she brought the house down and prepared the way for Janice.
More German Lieder, Schumann’s Song Cycle – Frauenliebe und Leben. Before each song, Janice gave a short explanation, which added to our understanding of the words and mood. Her touching, expressive and sensitive singing, provided all the explanation we needed! A gem of a performance and enthusiastically applauded.
Barry & Serena provided a baroque interlude, a Trio Sonata by Graun for Violin, Oboe and Keyboard. Barry played the baroque Oboe d’amore for authenticity. Applauded warmly much to the delight of the performers.
Janice returned with more opera arias. Lascia ch’io pianga from Handel’s Rinaldo. What a glorious sound she made in a church setting. Then back to Puccini, O my Beloved Father from Gianni Schichi. Another wonderful performance, showing just what range and experience Janice brings to the art of opera and singing in general. Much appreciated by the audience.
The Barry Solomon Trio returned for a final time. Serena played Tchaikovsky’s intimate and touching Melodie, then Barry followed with a light classic by Ronald Binge – The Watermill. Both received well by the audience.
The finale was all Janice. Returning to musicals, she sung 2 Rodgers and Hammerstein numbers. Firstly, If I loved you, from the tragically beautiful Carousel, then to finish, Edelweiss from the Sound of Music, but with a twist! She asked the audience to join in on the second verse. We were all up for that, it’s not often you get a chance to sing with the renowned Janice Watson.
Janice received a standing ovation, and I would say matchless is the word that comes to mind when describing her voice tonight, what a memory we take away from this event. Bravo! Fantastic!! Please do it again!

Elstree Mozart Players delighted an enthusiastic audience with a joyous celebration of Gilbert and Sullivan’s enduring legacy at their Scratch Concert on Saturday, 8th February.
The concert was attended by both The Mayor of Elstree and Borehamwood, Cllr Alpha Collins, and the Mayor of Hertsmere Borough Council, Cllr Richard Butler, with both Mayors being accompanied by their consorts.
The program, a carefully curated selection from twelve of the duo’s comic operas, showcased the wit of W.S. Gilbert’s lyrics and the brilliance of Arthur Sullivan’s compositions.
The evening commenced with the stirring Overture from The Yeomen of the Guard, setting the stage for a lively and engaging performance. The concert then moved through a series of solos, duets, and ensemble numbers that demonstrated the range and vitality of Gilbert and Sullivan’s works.
Highlights included Graham Bright’s spirited rendition of “When I was a lad” from HMS Pinafore, Laurie Marks’ charismatic take on “My name is John Wellington Wells” from The Sorcerer, and the ever popular “Three Little Maids From School” from The Mikado, performed with charm and precision by Elizabeth Venner, Janice Watson, and Louise Sherlock.
Janice Watson was a standout of the evening, bringing both vocal excellence and theatrical flair to her performances. Her ability to balance comedic timing with musical precision was particularly evident in The Mikado and her other ensemble pieces, earning her warm applause from the audience.
The second half maintained the high energy, featuring the rousing “Loudly let the trumpet bray” from Iolanthe and the moving “None shall part us” from Iolanthe, performed exquisitely by Elizabeth Venner and Laurie Marks.

It was once more a well-balanced programme from the Elstree Mozart Players (EMP) and Derek Holland. Two Concertos and a ‘Meditation’ to show off the soloists; good old ‘war-horses’ to begin and end proceedings and a newly commissioned work. Not forgetting a guest conductor and oh yes, yours truly asked to play the Tam-tam in Marche Slave. Whatever were they thinking?
To begin with, a favourite of mine, Franz von Suppe’s Overture – Morning Noon & Night in Vienna. Plenty of good tunes and rousing motifs to get the foot tapping and not forgetting a beautiful solo opening, that gave the principal Cellist – Juliet Maclean – a chance to shine. A perfect way to start a concert and demonstrate the confident, ensemble playing of this talented group of musicians.
This was followed by Edward Elgar’s Autumnal Cello Concerto, a work written just after World War 1. It plumbs the depths of human emotions and requires great sensitivity. The soloist was one of EMP’s own, a young man with amazing technique and musicality – Edwin Gatward. At only 20 years old he is a polished and complete musician with a reputation for playing what the composer indicates. There was no ego, or histrionics, getting in the way of this performance, you got Elgar all the way. The accompaniment from Derek and EMP complimented Edwin’s wonderful playing. The applause was loud, appreciative and well deserved as the final note faded away, even shouts of Bravo! Bravo indeed Edwin! Here is a realisation of promising talent now being fulfilled.
Next, Derek handed the baton over to one of his oldest friends – Roland Marshall. He is a tuba player with many years of experience and has been a regular player with EMP. This was his first opportunity to conduct, and he’d chosen Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave. I was at the rehearsal, when it was decided they were short of a percussionist to hit the tam-tam. I reluctantly agreed to help out! So, during the concert I went from the auditorium to the back of the orchestra where I waited for my moment to bash a piece of metal. Quite surreal, but very exciting as like Roland, this was my first time. I think he did a wonderful job, as for me, I couldn’t possibly comment! The audience enjoyed it and applauded heartily for our conducting debutant.
After the interval, EMP played the newly commissioned work by Phillip White – Aubade, An English Pastoral. A picture painting in sound of morning and the awakening of the day, a work of great poise and beauty. Considering that the orchestra had rehearsed this piece together only hours earlier, their performance was staggeringly complete and rounded. At the end the audience applauded warmly, and the Composer was on hand to take a bow.
The next work was Jules Massenet’s Ethereal Meditation from the opera Thais. Lucy Cumming the leader of the orchestra, who most of the time is happy to let others take the limelight, deservedly took the honours of the solo violin part in this gorgeous piece. Six minutes of pure magic, applauded warmly at the end.
Time for yet another concerto. I had never heard of Oscar Bohme, but he was born in Germany in 1870 and ended his life in Russia at the hands of the Stalinist regime in 1938. He composed many works for trumpet in the intervening time. His Concerto in F minor had a romantic and very 19th Century feel to it, yet virtuosic and flashy as well as good melodies. The Orchestra’s young principal Trumpeter, Dylan Lehner played brilliantly, showing off his technique and flare. He had chosen this work and proceeded to give a flawless performance to rapturous applause at the end. Bravo Dylan!
To finish, another rousing piece to get the blood pumping, Saint Saens raucous Bacchanale from his opera Samsom & Delilah. The orchestra displayed all the virtuosity that this work requires, bringing the concert to a loud and exciting conclusion. Well, done to all, a brilliant evening’s entertainment and loudly appreciated by the audience.
We’ll have to wait until 2025 for the next one, so put Saturday 8th February 2025 in your diaries everyone!

This was another concert with something for everyone from Derek Holland and the Elstree Mozart Players.
Proceedings began with a Concert March by the orchestra’s resident composer, Peter Wilson. A charming little piece in the light classical vain, designed to get the toes tapping and hearts pumping.
Then a short Trumpet concerto by Leopold Mozart, the less talented father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was played on an old D trumpet by orchestra member Alison Perry. Quite an instrument to play, as it is very taxing on the players lips, but Alison sailed through, with very good accompaniment from the orchestra.
Next the leader of the orchestra, Lucy Cumming and principal oboist, Barry Solomon played one of Bach’s wonderful concertos, the D minor for Oboe and Violin. It was played brilliantly by both soloists and with excellent orchestral accompaniment, it left the audience asking for more.
To follow, Peter Wilson excelled as pianist in Robert Docker’s Legend for Piano & Orchestra. It is a wonderful piece of light music that should be heard more regularly. Docker was a first-class composer of light classical music and Derek Holland and his players will never shy away from promoting these little gems.
Bringing the concert to the interval was a delightful piece by the composer Cecile Chaminade, her Concertino for Flute and Orchestra. Played flawlessly by the principal Flautist – Emma Brown. Once more the audience were wowed by the brilliant playing of soloist and orchestra.
To begin the second half, Elstree Mozart Players played a work by another local composer, Roderick Elmer – his Variations on the Hymn tune Harwich. He wrote it 10 years ago and it had not been played since. It had a demanding pattern of ever-increasing difficulty with each variation, yet the orchestra held it together for this unfamiliar piece, on just that one rehearsal. Remarkable.
To end the concert, they played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No.31 ‘The Paris’. A big symphony and a big performance. No hesitation on the tempo for both the first movement and finale. Derek Holland always observes the composer’s tempi markings. What a rousing finish to the concert. Fantastic!
The orchestra would like to thank members of The Rotary Club of the Studios of Elstree and Borehamwood along with Elstree & Borehamwood Town Council for providing stewards for this concert.
