Without a doubt, this concert project has been one of the most successful yet. The ensemble vibe throughout the week was as collective as we'd hoped with rehearsals featuring a great amount of input from all points in the ensemble. Individual music-making was characterised by extreme skill and flexibility, but was always sensitive to the need to create an ensemble piece. There was hard work, and there was good friendship.
As ever, it was great to make contact with our audience. We were delighted to welcome some Solomon groupies from Cambridge and flattered by the presence of some noted Aldeburgh concert-going regulars. Was it the most diverse Solomon audience yet? We've certainly not entertained a thriller author or an anarcho-punk band before...
We've already started having meetings about our next concert on December 10th at St John's Smith Square. Watch this space for more details very soon.
