B'Rock bring an interesting programme of Italian Baroque to their debut at the Proms.

“The name Stradivarius had an air of magic to me.” Virtuoso violinist James Ehnes’ statement manages to capture the air of reverence which underpinned Friday’s Music at Oxford concert. The gala marked the opening of the UK’s first Stradivarius exhibition at Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, and two violins from the exhibition were on temporary release for the evening.

A well conceived thematic programme which made for a delightful evening from an eager, young orchestra. We were welcomed into Cadogan Hall by a group of musicians playing traditional Finnish dances in the gallery, which student Einojuhani had worked up into a thoroughly viable concert starter, which showed immediately that this was an orchestra to listen to.
