This dedication post is for three very gifted music students from the University of Surrey under the tuition of our very own Phil! We were fortunate enough to share their music compositions by playing them live for the very first time and was a privilege to provide that opportunity for these composers who certainly have a bright future ahead of them:

All Your Life by Elliot Leach based on previous life events.

The Next Chapter by Freya Whitfield which gives us a Narnia feel.

Persephones and Hades by Maddy Chappell highlighting her interests of Greek Mythology

Well done to you three for writing these inspiring pieces for us to play and we really enjoyed performing them live for the first time for you and the audience! We wish you all the best with the rest of your studies! 🎵

If you attended our wonderful concert on Saturday evening and use a Rehasense walker, can you please double check you have the correct one and let us know if you do not. An audience member has contacted us to say they have realised the one they took home is not theirs. Thank you!

Alicia, thank you so much for agreeing to play the wonderful Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto in A minor and to say you played it so beautifully is an understatement. You moved not only the audience, but you also moved us as an orchestra and we are so fortunate to have this memory to talk about - especially for our 20th Year!! 🎵 ❤️
