Concerts coming up!

Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra is launching the new season with the county’s exciting Young Musician of the Year 2020, Darcy Beck. She will be performing Emmanuel Sejourne’s Concerto for Marimba at Pittville Pump Room on Sunday 21 November (7.30pm) and the programme will include Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 and Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll.

Darcy’s performance will herald the return of the hotly-contested Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year competition.

The concert will be followed up by GSO’s popular family event, The Christmas Cracker, at Cheltenham Town Hall on Sunday 19 December (3pm), when Delibes’s Coppelia Ballet Suite will be performed by dancers from Mandy Godding’s Theatre Arts, among other festive musical treats. Tickets will be available from the Cheltenham Town Hall Box Office.

GSO rehearsals, with musical director Glyn Oxley, begin on Tuesday September 7 (7.30-9.30pm) at St Barnabas’ Church, Stroud Road, Gloucester.

Farewell to long time orchestra member

At our recent rehearsal we bid fond farewell to long standing orchestra member, Trevor Pleass.

Trevor has been a regular member of the orchestra violin section for many years, and was formerly the treasurer.

At age 94, he has decided to step down.

Our youngest members presented him with some gifts as an appreciation of his long service to the orchestra. We wish him well for the future, and hope to see him in the audience at some of our future concerts.

Orchestra Rehearsal

Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra has hit The Citizen and Echo headlines this week thanks to fabulous photos by Mikal Ludlow who visited our rehearsal at Gloucester’s St Barnabas’ Church.

Different sections of the orchestra are featured, along with conductor Glyn Oxley, leader Marie Roberts-Watkins and the soloist for our concert in the church on July 17th Chris Roberts, who will be performing the beautiful Concierto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo.
