Sunday 28th April 2024

 

The 2023-24 academic year ended with a fabulous concert at The Amey Theatre in Abingdon - the picture shows the orchestra during a dress rehearsal. 

 

The evening’s programme was as follows:

 

Suppe: Poet and Peasant Overture

Mussorgsky: Night on a Bald Mountain

Borodin: Symphony No.2 in B minor

 

The concert marked the end of a very successful year with our new Music Director Caroline Hobbs-Smith.  We look forward to welcoming our players back in September and to many more fantastic concerts in the future.
