Packed house not disappointed

Review published in the Banbury Guardian, March 2009

How satisfying for the players of the Banbury Symphony Orchestra to see St Mary's Church so full for their first concert of 2009. The audience was not disappointed as the orchestra's exuberant playing of Brahms's Academic Festival Overture, the composer's 'thank you' to Breslau University for his honorary doctorate, was a fitting start to a spring concert bursting with life and energy.

"Banbury should be proud to have an orchestra of such quality"

From the letters page of the Banbury Guardian, 20 March 2008


On Saturday evening a sizeable audience was privileged to hear an outstanding performance from the Banbury Symphony Orchestra in St Mary’s Church.

In playing an all-Russian programme devoted to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov and Prokoviev, they displayed enormous depth of talent, with excellent solos from several members of the band.
