"Mark Shiell - Artistic Director and Principal Conductor
Dear Natasha,
Reviews of our last concert
The orchestra is still on Cloud Nine after our last two concerts in Melbourne and Daylesford.
Our wonderful soloist, Kathryn Taylor, wrote "I had an absolute ball playing with the Zelman Symphony. Both the orchestra and the audience were so warm and welcoming, and a huge thank you to Mark Shiell for his support and fine conducting!"
You can read a glowing review of the Melbourne concert by Sylvester Kroyherr (Rachel Sandey) from the Bohemian Rhapsody Clubhttp://bohemianrhapsodyclub.weebly.com/travelling.html on our websitehttp://zelmansymphony.org.au/Reviews/21May2016 .
Bronislaw Sozanski was at our Daylesford concert and wrote "... an outstanding performance of [Mendelssohn's] violin concerto. Soloist Kathryn Taylor impressed from the first note, with strong technique and a clear, warm tone. There was a freshness and excitement in the playing of this well-known concerto, highlighting the thorough preparation of soloist and orchestra.
"The concert concluded with Beethoven's seventh symphony... The skill and preparation were evident from the start... This orchestra continues to take on big challenges, guaranteeing a whirlwind ride at each performance." The full review is also on our website.
We hope for the same success at our next concerts – details below."
Thanking Zelman Symphony http://zelmansymphony.org.au/ for the great opportunity to cover the Orchestra's always brilliant performances and Sylvester K for his press releases from the bottom of my heart!
