Recent performances have included concerts with the Carducci Quartet at Pitville Pump Room and Cheltenham Town Hall, European Chamber Orchestra in Stroud Subrooms and a performance at the Three Choirs Festival.

Feedback from audience members includes the following comments:  "Musicianship of the highest standard."  "A sophisticated ensemble who play with assurance and maturity.  Bravo!"   "A fantastic Three Choirs debut.  More please!"
