Two performances that were outstanding

THE Knighton Chamber Orchestra continues to surprise and delight.

At its latest concert we had two outstanding performances: first there was Britten’s extraordinary, and extraordinarily moving Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, magically evoked by Richard Roddis and Mark Penny, and to follow an electrifying performance of Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto, by Arina Lazgiian.

For both, Paul Jenkins’s orchestra provided subtle accompaniment, and reminded us that there is still, dare I say it in these greyish times, a vibrant European culture that we are part of.
