Sunday, 17th November 2013 - Concert
We pushed the orchestra to new heights of artistic creativity with our highly successful concert of "pure cold water", Italy-by-Suffolk and pure passion....
Sibelius once said, contrasting the music of Mahler and Richard Strauss, "Whereas most other modern composers are engaged in manufacturing cocktails of every hue and description, I offer the public pure cold water".
Britten, living in Suffolk, took his inspiration for "Soirées Musicales" from themes of Rossini.
Romeo & Juliet - surely the most passionately inspiring play of all time.
Very well attended and musically exhilarating, we also raised £800 for our chosen charity: Red Balloon Learner Centres in Cambridge and Norwich.
"I wasn't sure we would manage it - we did and it was enormously satisfying." - KJO wind-player
