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.
