Our recent Rhapsody for a Rascal concert at West Road Concert Hall on Saturday 7 November was a sell out success, reviewed by two Cambridge publications, and we’re delighted to share what they had to say.
Under the baton of Harry Sever, the programme took in Stravinsky’s Petrushka, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with soloist Junyan Chen, and three Strauss favourites, led by guest leader Simon Hewitt Jones.

ridge Independent describes a 90-minute international journey, with praise for the orchestra’s colour and virtuosity and for Junyan Chen’s playing.

The Cambridge Critique captures the atmosphere of a packed hall, with every seat taken and an orchestra going “fully explosive” from the opening bars.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our orchestra, soloists and conductor for such a memorable night. Our next (sold out) concert is on 16 November at St Paul’s Church, Hills Road, when our chorus and chamber orchestra perform Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos 3 and 4.
