Their next concert is on 12 March, with a fiery Russian programme:
Stravinsky: Firebird Suite, 1919 version
Prokofiev: Piano concerto no. 2 in G minor Op. 16 (soloist Anna Shelest)
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 2 in C minor (Little Russian) Op.18
Dave Todd from the Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra recently sent me a link to a review of the orchestra's last concert by the Bard of Tysoe - this local band really impressed him; he begins his piece "last night’s (again) dazzling performance by the ever-sublime and -sensational Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the deeply thoughtful and passionate David Curtis. (I know, after their barnstorming – or, more accurately, Town Hall-storming – rendition of the Fifth, I should not really have been so taken aback: but they are so cohesive, subtle, technically and emotionally gifted, that it is impossible to think of them in any way as “not a full-time professional ensemble”.)

Jill Davies has spent most of her life immersed in music, from sitting under the piano while her mum gave lessons to taking up the ukulele a couple of years ago. She's an agent (mainly for singers) by day, has a personal record of going to 12 concerts in 3 days, and can't decide whether it's more fun to sing Elgar partsongs or play Gibbons viol consorts.
