At the recent New Milton Music Festival, Ocean Harmony, led superbly by conductor Mike Beven, was presented with the Anne Hewetson Trophy and awarded a distinction for its performance in the Barbershop Chorus section.
In the afternoon competition Ocean Harmony opened with the lively and popular song from the musical ‘Cabaret’, followed by a poignant and beautifully harmonised rendition of ‘For all We Know’.
Ocean Harmony was invited, with other section winners, to perform before a large and appreciative audience at the evening concert at Arnewood School. The group rounded off the wide-ranging musical entertainment by singing various songs from its repertoire including the very lively and enjoyable ‘Amarillo’.
