Musical enrichment was the order of the day for four members of the trumpet section at the Gloucestershire Youth Wind Orchestra. Anya, Martha, Orla and Rob attended a spectacular interactive concert by the ever impressive The Cory Band at Birmingham Town Hall recently. We were treated to a vast array of music from Berlioz to Disney with the concert also including the second part of the band’s 'Trilogy' project. Prior to the concert, the audience were given stickers after deciding whether they were going to support the Cowboys or the Bandits. The Magnificent Seven was the theme of the second half which included music around the camp fire, a shoot out between the Cornet Kid and El Bandido Basso with the concert culminating in a fantastic arrangement by Philip Harper of the Queen classic 'Friends will be Friends'. A wonderful message from Mr Harper for us all to get along - including Cowboys and Bandits!

The students were utterly blown away by the whole experience. The sound, technical command and proficiency of the Cory Band was simply breathtaking. Anya, Martha, Orla and Rob were beaming and cheering the whole time. It is so important for our students to listen to live performances by world class musicians, enriching their own musicianship in such a positive way. An evening they will remember for a very long time!

SAVE THE DATE – CAPRIOL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA CONCERT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

We believe that introducing children to classical music early on in their lives can enrich their experience of music at all levels. Most of us were lucky enough to have started early and have continued to enjoy learning, playing and sharing music. Our classical concerts for children are informal fun events where audience participation is positively encouraged! Jonathan Trim will conduct our next children’s concert, which will take place in Stroud on Saturday 8th February, starting at 3pm. The programme will last for about an hour and will include pieces such as Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite and the lovely Dance of the Hours, ending with the wonderful narrative piece Tubby the Tuba, where Tubby finally gets the tune. Local broadcaster Faye Hatcher is making a guest appearance as Tubby’s narrator. All the family will enjoy the experience of hearing and watching a live orchestra, and every child under the age of 16 get in free!

Venue: Holy Trinity Church, Stroud GL5 2HX

Date & time: Saturday 8th February 2025 at 3pm

Tickets: Adult £12 (£10 for people in full time education, on Universal Credit, Job Seekers Allowance or Income Support). Children under 16 free

£1 reduction on tickets purchased prior to concert afternoon. Tickets will be available 3 weeks in advance of the event from Sub Rooms Box O\ice (+booking fee) 01453 796880 or online.

About us:
Capriol Chamber Orchestra is formed from a diverse group of people from many walks in life who enjoy playing a wide range of repertoire from Baroque to the present day. The orchestra presents three concerts a year in local churches within the Stroud area under the baton of Jonathan Trim. We encourage local soloists and composers whenever possible and are always interested in supporting local events. Winners of the Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year are regular soloists.
