Gala concert

Every year the Buckingham Summer Festival puts on an amazing series of musical events supported by an exceptional bunch of musicians. The musical talent on show is quite phenomenal.

Julie and I had the greatest of pleasures to be invited to the last Gala concert of the series this year:

The Orchestra of Stowe Opera with

Robert Secret – conductor
Francesca Smith – leader
Christopher Redgate – oboe
Helen Massey – soprano

and they played:

Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto
Gustav Mahler Symphony No.4 in G major

at Buckingham Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul on Saturday 8 July

It was a sumptuous evening of melody and skill. I would recommend emailing the organisers to make sure you are one of the first to hear about the programme for next year.

It was wonderful evening and we are most grateful for the invitation.
