Julian Lloyd Webber and the EU Chamber Orchestra at St George's, Bristol

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 23rd April

The European Union is not something one would normally expect to be associated with music, but their chamber orchestra is exceptional. Formed in 1981, they now have a worldwide reputation as musical ambassadors. Opening an evening of style and grace at St George’s, Bristol with Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, the orchestra gave an air of confidence.
