Spring Celebration Concert

A life in music – celebrating the life and legacy of Quentin Haslam

We will be remembering bassoonist Quentin Haslam, a much-loved member of GSO for over 30 years. Quentin enriched our orchestral community with his formidable talent, kindness, and breadth of musical knowledge. A familiar figure on the Gloucestershire professional and amateur music scene, many of Quentin’s favourite pieces will be performed by members of GSO, colleagues, friends and invited guest players, reflecting Quentin’s life, artistry and love of music.
