Brunel Springs Eternal

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Another 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!
