The first Carol Service at All Saints Church, Fleet, since it was destroyed by fire in 2015 will be held at 6:30 pm on Sunday 17th December and we are expecting a record attendance for what promises to be a spectacular celebration in what is now a beautifully restored church!
Andrew Gray (Fleet Concert Orchestra’s conductor) will conduct the choir and instrumentalists. The ‘Hart of Brass’ brass quintet will accompany the congregational carols and ‘Quintessentially Wind’ will accompany some of the choir items, as follows:
Choir & Organ What sweeter music – Rutter
All, Organ and Brass O come all ye faithful
Choir & Wind Quintet Sans Day Carol
All, Organ and Brass It came upon a midnight clear
Choir Infant holy, infant lowly
All, Organ and Brass God rest you merry gentlemen
Choir My Lord has come – Will Todd
All, Organ and Brass While shepherds watched
Choir & Wind Quintet Shepherd’s Pipe Carol – Rutter
All, Wind Quintet Away in a manger

Quintessentially Wind with Dorina Latawska and Hua-Lin Cheng invite you to ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’, a concert with a difference – an hour of music with time for promenading around the church to view many paintings, which will be sold in aid of the All Saints Fund.
This is the first concert in the newly rebuilt parish church. You will be stunned by both the beauty of the building and the quality of the watercolour paintings, for which you will be able to bid.
Due to the tragic death of Queen Elizabeth II, the performance of HMS Pinafore, scheduled for Sat 10 Sep 2022 has ben cancelled and will be performed instead on Sat 16th Sep 2023. Ticket refunds can be requested from the original ticket supplier.

Quintessentially Wind is back performing with a new repertoire of music rehearsed in our gardens and socially distanced rehearsal venues. We are very excited to have had so much time to rehearse some lovely new pieces, some of which we played in two concerts in July 2021 and there will be further new pieces during the Fleet Choral Society concert on Saturday 9th Oct 2021 in Church On The Heath, Fleet.
We have recently achieved successful rehearsals of the quintet online using Jamulus to reduce latency (delay times) and allow synchronised playing. It is not as good as being in the same room but definitely worthwhile. Simon created a virtual server just for QW. Robert created a guidance document which allowed each player to get set up and reduce their latency to below 40 ms (sounds like being 7 metres away from each other player). Several friends have now requested copies of this document and are getting set up themselves.
As outdoor chamber music will be amongst the first live music to reappear after lockdown, Quintessentially Wind is offering socially-distanced live music in gardens that are open to the public, or for private or public events. We have our own chairs and pop-up gazebo so we can be self-sufficient if necessary. If you are interested, email: anne@quintessentiallywind.uk.
Quintessentially Wind performed at Crantock Chamber Music Festival in Crantock Parish Church on Tuesday 23 July 2019 to a wonderfully knowledgeable audience. One person knew the composer Norman Hallam (Dance Suite) and another knew the arranger Philip Buttall (Charleston Medley and The Lone Ar-Ranger)! This was our most westerly performance so far, made possible because Mike and Cassie Grieff have moved to Bodmin, Cornwall. Anne, Robert and Katie travelled down to rehearse and perform with Mike and Cassie – just like old times!
