| 24-Oct-2012 The Royal Hospital Chelsea, Chapel | Well-known music for string orchestra at the picturesque Royal Hospital Chelsea |
.jpg) The Royal Hospital Chelsea was founded in 1682 by Charles II to provide soldiers with a rewarding retirement location, and the grounds and buildings are all fitting for the residency of the Chelsea Pensioners. Their concert season ranges from choral music for Remembrance to string quartets and piano trios, but tonight’s performance saw string orchestra classics from the London Serenata.

| 1-Aug-2012 Royal Albert Hall | Prom 25: BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Proms Youth Choir with David Robertson |
 The numerous links and connections between each of tonight’s pieces make this a very cleverly crafted programme, on paper at least. Unified by a theme of ‘reflection and questioning’, the concert is evenly balanced, with two open-ended, questioning pieces (Ives’ The Unanswered Question and Zimmermann’s Nobody knows de trouble I see are both left hanging, unable to find resolution) each followed by a more pensive piece (Barber’s immensely popular Adagio and Tippett’s contemplative A Child of Our Time respectively).Read full review... | |
| 20-Apr-2012 St George's Bristol | Julian Lloyd Webber and the EU Chamber Orchestra at St George's, Bristol |
 The European Union is not something one would normally expect to be associated with music, but their chamber orchestra is exceptional. Formed in 1981, they now have a worldwide reputation as musical ambassadors. Opening an evening of style and grace at St George’s, Bristol with Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, the orchestra gave an air of confidence. Not only were they incredibly unified, but they had a cheery disposition on stage; smiling and connecting with each other through the music.Read full review... | |
