Stamford Chamber Orchestra
Trustees Report 2023-24
We have had a great season this year, with some world-class soloists. We started with a fabulous rendition by Amy Harman of the Weber Bassoon Concerto , then Jaren Zeigler joined us for the Bruch Romanze and Howells Elegy for Viola , and last but by no means least local violinist Freya Goldmark returned to play the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto . We performed a wide range of music to appreciative audiences including Strauss Metamorphosen for 23 Strings, Brahms Haydn Variations and works by Karlowicz and Backer-Grondahl, as well as a new commission for SCO by John Sturt in our season finale. The performance was probably best summed up by a member of the audience who wrote: "I was very much impressed by the young composer, John Sturt – a young member of the orchestra - and also the highly talented conductor, Mark Austin. When we are facing all these problem - climate emergency, wars in Europe and elsewhere, hope for the future is extremely difficult to come by. But I indeed saw hope here and I was/am elated."
