On Saturday evening we had the great pleasure of attending a concert at Birmingham Town Hall. Not so very unusual you may think. But what made this different was that none of the musicians was over thirteen and some were much younger.
The standard was sensational. If you closed your eyes you would never have thought this was not an adult orchestra. There was an immense depth of talent and we were much inspired by the great outlook for classical music all this implies and of which the NCO will be an important part.
Our thanks to the young musicians and to the charity, families and volunteers who brought this event to fruition. They are helping to create and sustain a love of music not only in those who make it but in those of us fortunate enough to enjoy the performances.
Despite best endeavours at publicity, the NCO remain something of a hidden gem. I certainly hope that word will spread and that many more concerts such as Saturday’s in the Town Hall can be given for all to enjoy.
