Performer: Libor Pešek

An impressive performance from cellist Natalie Clein in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto did much to alleviate the woes of the real world.

On walking into the foyer of Colston Hall, I was greeted by the sound of a jazz band playing The Girl from Ipanema. This was not quite what I expected from the Colston Hall’s “Symphony Project”, but nevertheless a tasteful and welcoming opening, that created a cheerful atmosphere.
