The Partners of Farley & Thompson invited a number of guests, including a number of their own clients, to the second summer classical concert and reception. Guests arrived for drinks in the Italian Garden at Compton Acres, Poole and thereafter assembled in the Medici Suite to enjoy the concert performed by 'Indigo' with Sarah Shore - Oboe, Ruth Partington - Clarinet and Annabelle Catley - Flute.
The 40 minute concert included works by Malcolm Arnold, Claude Debussy and Benjamin Britten alongside favorites such as The Flower Duet from Lakme composed by Leo Delibes.
Among the special guests were the Mayor and Mayoress of Poole and the Mayor and Mayoress of Bournemouth.
The special Charity for the evening was the Bournemouth Churches Housing Association(BCHA). Farley & Thompson Senior Partner Michael Merridew presented the evening's proceeds, in excess of £3000, to the BCHA Chairman Graham Exon.
Michael thanked guests for their exceptional generosity.
