Concert News

The details of the events in our 2008/2009 Season are on the Programme Page.

As in the 2007/2008 season we are holding a Workshop in February, actually Saturday 21st February 2009. This Season it is slightly different in that, unusually, the Workshop is followed on the next day by a performance of the chosen work accompanied by orchestra. We are studying Carl Orff's very popular work Carmina Burana on the Saturday with Gavin Carr and performing it with the Devon Sinfonietta (formerly the Devon Youth Orchestra) on the Sunday late afternoon conducted by Scott Stroman whom you may remember led our very successful workshop last Season. You will find full details on the Workshop page, including the opportunity to download the booking form.
