·               Torbay Symphony Orchestra is rehearsing in Ashburton Community Arts Centre; at the end of the day, between 4-5pm, there'll be a public performance of part of the current programme – free entry, collection for donations. Perfect for bringing children to see an orchestra live in the flesh, perhaps for the first time. It'll be easy to come and go if necessary. The June series of concerts by TSO celebrates the summer with some wonderful romantic music.

The actual concerts will be on:

·           Saturday 16 June 2018: Torbay Symphony Orchestra concert at Teignmouth Pavilions

·           Sunday 17 June 2018: Torbay Symphony Orchestra concert at the Ariel Centre, Totnes

-       Tchaikovsky 'Romeo and Juliet' - such a beautiful piece of music - impossible not to be swept away;

-       Mahler 'Songs of the Wayfarer' - a sumptuous setting of 4 songs depicting a jilted lover who swings from despair to wild hope; mezzo soprano soloist Alison Kettlewell;

-       Debussy 'Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane' a real jewel for harp and strings with the amazing harpist Rosanna Rolton;

-       and to finish the evening – Dvorak’s 'New World Symphony';
