Truro Choral Society with Truro Cathedral presented an evening of Cornish music and culture at a Last Night of the Cornish Proms concert in the Cathedral.
Truro Choral Society, conducted by Martin Palmer, opened the choral proceedings with a medley of Cornish songs and shanties. The evening also featured:
- Camborne Town Band (directed by Gareth Churcher)
- City of Truro Male Choir (led by Russell Pascoe)
- Suzanne Manuell (soprano)
- Victoria Stolte (viola) and Stella Pendrous (piano)
- Jeremy Wan (organ and piano)
Compere Roger Bush held everything together with informative interludes and groan-inducing jokes.
The evening was dedicated to the memory of Cornish baritone Ben Luxon (1937-2024), with a moving tribute by Susanne Manuell.
