Concert celebrating Quentin’s life in music
Our recent concert was especially meaningful as we paid tribute to our dear friend Quentin Haslam. His legacy will live on and the music we shared that evening was a testament to the deep impact he had on all of us. His fellow bassoonists performed fabulously in his memory, and we are sure he would have been so proud!
Also a special thank you to the incredible Ellie Neate, whose voice brought Strauss’ Four Last Songs to life in a way we will never forget.
