Wonderful to have alumna Isobel Soper Music adding the atmospheric finishing touches to my Dad’s 80th birthday celebrations at The Angel Hotel Abergavenny. She sounded beautiful and the repertoire was perfect. Thank you! 🎶💕

What a programme; Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Repighi, letting every corner of the orchestra shine. Wonderful sound.

Listen now to the final performance of the academic year from Simply Strings. A huge thank you to Susie Webb for such a great opportunity and experience, we loved it 🎶 🎻🎶

The 'Education Station', or as we like to call it 'The eDJustation'. Choon in each day to hear children on the 'DJ4aDay' project, Cluster Choir performances, Educational shows and classic feel good hits.
