MUSIC CLUBS & FESTIVALS
2012 was another thrilling year for the ensemble, with great concerts across the UK, and the most wonderful audience response.
We have been delighted to play for so many music clubs and festivals this season and the great variety of programmes that we have performed has been exciting and inspiring for the group - we have also greatly enjoyed the enthusiastic response from audiences!
We are still taking bookings for the 2013/14 Season, and we are now focusing on the 2014/15 season - our 24th Season:
We have a number of suggested programmes for the season, but below is a full list of our repertoire that we can draw on. We're always interested in creating special programmes for societies and festivals to encompass their desires, but also to fit in with themes and anniversaries. The 10/11 season may seem a bit thin on the ground in terms of significant anniversaries, but we've got a few wonderful pieces available.
Please do contact us to devise a programme together.
