Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra

The results never felt mechanical, and could encompass the odd moment of untidiness without losing an overall sense of shape and direction.

****George Hall The Guardian

La Nuova Musica

A tiny band of musicians, directed by David Bates, provide subtle and poignant orchestral colour while seven singers double as soloists and chorus

***Nick Kimberley Evening Standard

Old Earth

Old Earth is a haunting meditation on the human struggle to articulate the ineffable.

****Jane Shilling Telegraph

Melvyn Tan

Classical pianist Melvyn Tan played Bach with a mixture of sensitivity and virtuosity

****Ivan Hewett Telegraph

Night of the Unexpected

…curators Ed McKeon and Roland Spekle had packed in the enjoyment and gleeful thrills of the fairground, a merry-go-round and roller-coaster combined
