Neil Carlson has been our Resident Conductor since our inauguration in 1998, and we have benefitted hugely from his leadership, inspiration, and commitment.

...3/5

... a beautiful concerto by Max Bruch that never earned its composer a single penny; a symphony by Shostakovich banned by the authorities; and a coronation march by Sir William Walton which was initially savaged by the critics. Oh, and some wonderful Brahms that was loved from the off.

Mozart's love of the clarinet is evident in every phrase of this popular concerto, with an opening reminiscent of The Magic Flute leading to an exuberant conclusion. Our virtuoso soloist, Sarah Williamson, is "A tenacious player" whose "sonorous timbre and natural musicality speak for themselves”.

Rossini was one of the most popular opera composers of his time, and his musically ambitious overtures continue to please audiences today. Of Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony, he wrote to his brother "It is hard for me to tear myself away from it. I believe it comes into being as the best of my works".
