Conducted Repertoire…
David Curtis has a strong commitment to contemporary repertoire and has commissioned numerous new works from leading composers from the USA, Europe
and China.
…David Curtis, with his enormous experience in getting the most out of his musicians, secured an astonishing tonal beauty… the orchestra moulded phrases naturally throughout the work with tremendous power and intensity… this was a genuine performance of Sibelius Symphony number 2… Sutton Coldfield News

…a lively performance of Strauss Don Juan, followed by the Four Last Songs… Elizabeth Clarke’s voice blended impeccably with the sensuous playing of the orchestra… sheer perfection. Strauss’ Alpine Symphony towered over both… the charismatic David Curtis succeeded magnificently… a full-blooded, spell-binding performance… Gloucester Echo |
