Winter Concert
What a great concert that was! Despite a cold, wet
evening, an almost full house thoroughly enjoyed our
programme of music from the Romantic period. Glinka’s
fiery overture to Ruslan & Ludmilla is a great concert
opener, and this was followed by David Palazzo’s beautiful
rendition of Schumann’s oft-neglected Cello concerto. What
a delight.
The second half comprised Brahms first symphony, where
once again the orchestra played their socks off! Well done
everyone, and a special mention to Hazel McDonald, our
leader, for her beautiful solo playing in the slow movement.
Thanks, too, to our conductor Robert Baxter, for keeping us
all together, and bringing out the best playing from
everyone involved. A great evening.
