| NEXT CONCERT ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 1st, 3PM AT TAUNTON METHODIST CHURCH. Taunton is so fortunate to have its own wonderful orchestra, the dynamic Taunton Sinfonietta. This group of talented players have a shared vision for performing the Chamber Orchestral repertoire to you, our audience, with whom we love to interact and discuss the music we are playing. The programmes are exciting and always innovative. Mary Eade has been the inspirational director for nearly 20 years, both leading the orchestra and playing concertos with them. Mary toured the world for many years as a principle member of the English Chamber Orchestra and brings that wealth of knowledge, technique and experience to Taunton Sinfonietta. We like to feature young soloists, whether from the BBC Young Musician winners, or our own Taunton Young Musician competition. On December 1st, in Temple Methodist Church, Taunton, we are delighted that Bibi Redford, the current winner of the Taunton Young Musician, will be joining us to perform Haydn's Piano Concerto in D. Other works in the programme are by Scriabin, Bottesini, Vaughan-Williams and Myaskowski. BIBI REDFORD, soloist on December 1st, studies piano at the Royal College of Music with Vitaly Pisarenko. Having won first prize accolades at various competitions locally and internationally, Bibi is now enjoying living and working in London. She has recently returned to the U.K from travelling to Tokyo. Bibi enjoys Haydn but her special interest is music by Rachmaninoff and Chopin LOOKING FOR A NEW CHAIRMAN After many years of service our chairman is standing down at the end of the year. Taunton Sinfonietta is looking for a new chair to take the orchestra forward. We would welcome any interest and enquiries. |
