My son really enjoyed the workshop and couldn't wait to show us the DVD of his animation. Please run some more - he could quite happily spend most of his holidays doing this.
View page / add reviewGood workshop although I felt there could have been a bit more music making and less story time. It would be good to see more workshops for this age group please. Thanks.

View page / add reviewI wasn't sure if I had made te right choice at first: "A Night on the Bare Mountain" sounded even more of an unholy cacophony than I suspect even the composer intended. However, Wiltshire's finest young musicians were roused by Cordelia Williams' insouciantly mellifluous prestidigitative flights of fancy in Prokofiev's 3rd PC to lend great support. The clarinettist opened proceedings with a nerveless seductive solo which set the tone for the whole work.
I have to admit to reservations about the orchestra tackling a work as emotionally draining as Tchaikovsky's Pathetique. To expect teenagers to identify with a piece which ends with a depiction of man's life ebbing away is a big ask. However, all such doubts were erased by superb playing, particularly from the strings in the big melodies. Some lapses in ensemble were amply compensated by fine contributions from the trombones, a superb flautist and clarinettist (different lead player than the Prokofiev) and a timpanist who ratcheted up the overwhelming sense of impending doom at the big climaxes in the first and third movements. Great stuff!

View page / add reviewSuper band who are unafraid to push the limits; as per the Pictures at an Exhibition concert. I make a point of not missing their appearances at the B-on-A music centre and at this one invited two colleagues along who were as impressed as me.
View page / add reviewThis was a really uplifting evening by four outstanding musicians who offer wonderful music, humour with humility (a rare achievement these days!) and leave smiles on people's faces. Certainly an evening at the Music Centre, on a cold Sunday, well 'worth leaving home for'. Red Priest never disappoint with their musical virtuosity that is truly 'in the moment'. A real treat. Don't miss them next time!
