Summer Concert
Our final concert for the 2025-26 season sees
the return of one of our popular past soloists
in the shape of Iona McDonald, this time with
her partner Fong Ho Man Jonathan, to play
the formidable Brahms Double concerto for
violin and cello. Bookending this momentous
work are two Beethoven favourites, the
Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus and
the mighty Eroica Symphony. A concert not
be missed!
We are back to our traditional concert venue
of Sherbrooke Mosspark Church for this
concert, which takes place on Sunday 31 May
at 7.30pm.
Tickets are now available from our ticketing
agent Trybooking. Simply click on the button

GCO Play Day !
The first ever GCO Play Day takes place on Saturday
5 September from 10am to 4pm at our rehearsal venue
of Sherbrooke Mosspark Church!
A great way to dust off the summer cobwebs from your
instrument before the season starts, our Play Day
repertoire will comprise nothing less than Schubert’s
Symphony No 9 in C major (The Great)! Led by
conductor Nick Wilks, we will explore this amazing
symphony in a relaxed setting - no performance and no
audience!! Make sure you have this date in your diary
and come along to renew acquaintances and sharpen up
your technique, in preparation for our new 70th
anniversary season.
We will provide tea/coffee etc for interval breaks, but
please bring your own packed lunch. The cost for the
day will be £15, which will allay expenses of hall hire,
music hire etc.
