Spring Concert 2017

Redditch Orchestra

Redditch Orchestra presents a concert of popular classical music at the Studley Village Hall. The orchestra is delighted to return to Studley after a very successful Spring concert last year celebrating Shakespeare-inspired music.

Our concert this year brings Neil Aston to Studley as our conductor and our soloist in Bernhard Crusell’s lyrical and evocative 3rd Clarinet concerto

“beautiful playing” Sir Simon Rattle

"the perfect sound" Jack Brymer

Neil studied with Lynne Racz of the Manchester Camerata, graduating with the Director of Music Prize, and with Janet Hilton and Colin Parr at Birmingham Conservatoire.

Neil has regularly performed concerti with the Beauchamp Sinfonietta, the Charnwood Orchestra, the Worcester Philharmonic and Spires Philharmonic and has given many recitals throughout the country including the Purcell Room on London's South Bank, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and Kew Music Society. 

The programme for the concert is:

Gioachino Rossini             Semiramide Overture

Bernhard Crusell               Clarinet Concerto No. 3  with soloist Neil Aston
