Brunel Springs Eternal
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007Another blockbuster audience of over 400 witnessed the Brunel Sinfonia's spring season climax. Opening with Sibelius' Finlandia, the orchestra set the standard for a great evening. Founding member Alice Billen returned to give a wonderful performance of Walton's viola concerto, ably supported by a reduced-size orchestra. The second half saw probably the orchestra's finest performance to date: the sumptuous melodies of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony echoed around Clifton Cathedral and brought a wonderful reception.
As ever, Roger Levett kindly hosted a wonderful after-party which was well-attended as usual. A large number then made their way to Baroque on the triangle for further, well-deserved revelry. Thank you to all involved for your help and assistance, especially those who hung around after the concert to lend a hand - it was hugely appreciated!
