Sugar Plum Fairy Sprinkles Stardust

D62 Nov 2018Sedbergh Orchestra in concert, Nov 2018 Sedbergh Orchestra presented a lovely Russian programme at St Andrew’s Parish Church, Sedbergh on Thursday 29^th November 2018. The programme was a mixture of familiar and favourite pieces by Glinka and Tchaikovsky, with a symphony by Kalinnikov, a composer new and refreshing to most of us in the audience.

The orchestra playing under the baton of Roland Fudge gave a wonderfully rounded performance with all sections showing off their skills. The woodwind and the strings particularly having become stronger in recent months.

The concert was completed with The Nutcracker suite making everyone feel that much nearer to Christmas. The Sugar Plum Fairy was sprinkling stardust everywhere.
