This term, OUWO has the exciting opportunity of collaborating with CUWO for our programme of Opera and Ballet, conducted by Maria Copley and Jane Hammond respectively.
OUWO are celebrating International Women*'s Day early with Ethel Smyth's Overture to The Wreckers, Cecile Chaminade's La Sévillane Overture and Jodie Blackshaw's Peace Dancer, as well as Leonard Bernstein's Overture to Candide and, as the collaborative piece between the two orchestras, Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé Suite. It's such a pleasure and a privilege to be able to perform such a selection of music, with full credit to some very erudite arrangers to enable us to do so. We would so love to see as many people as possible at this concert; to celebrate our work together as two ensembles, to share and champion alternative composers, and to raise money to get 40 people to the National Concert Band Festival finals in Manchester!
