I recently went to the Trinity Camerata concert as they were playing one of my favourite pieces from childhood - the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. It was stunning and really well played. As an adult, I could appreciate the difficulty of what they were playing. The acoustics in the church really lend themselves to both the quiet sections and the crescendos that echoed around the church. They also played some music from popular films. My son particularly enjoyed spotting the 007 themes in the bond compilation. All in all an extremely enjoyable Sunday afternoon for all the family.
The Camerata concert was absolutely lovely, and our entire family had a wonderful time.
Both of our kids, ages 5 and 8, were thoroughly engaged and enjoyed every moment, especially the way each group of instruments was introduced and demonstrated in such an educational and entertaining way. The music selections were fantastic, and every musician played with enthusiasm, creating a beautiful, unified sound that captivated the audience. It was a lovely blend of learning and enjoyment, and we left feeling inspired and appreciative of the talents shared on stage. Thank you for a memorable experience!
