WHAT THE PAPERS HAVE SAID:
King's Lynn Festival Chorus & European Union Chamber Orchestra -
"The 100 singers and the renowned musical ambassadors for the European Union provided a sparkling evening of choral and orchestral music which was warmly received by the large audience." Eastern Daily Press, 19 July 2011
"...soloists Katy Hill (soprano) and Rosie Aldridge (mezzo) produced an ethereal sound and made for a spine-tingling performance....Second oboist Judith Blauw joined Arco van Zon, immediately achieving a rapport throughout the whole of this work with the orchestra making a great contribution.....Chorus music director Tom Appleton exercised great dynamic control, as he did throughout the evening, drawing very fine singing from the chorus." Lynn News, 22 July 2011
Tasmin Little & European Union Chamber Orchestra -
"The soloist continually weaved through the orchestra - seemingly joined to her instrument with an exquisite touch in the slow movement. Later in the same composer's E major Concerto there was a happy dialogue, reflective slow movement and a quite delightful finale."
Eastern Daily Press, 21 July 2011
"The EU Chamber Orchestra, director Hans-Peter Hofmann, launched into the opening work Golst's St Paul Suite with great verve, demonstrating the orchestra's rich tone and cohesive playing. From the opening jig to the finale which incorporated English folk tunes, its director drew from its players commitment and dynamics....From the opening of Bach's Concerto in A for Violin and Strings, Tasmin Little produced two characteristics - the clarity of her playing and her beautiful liquid tone....The artists obviously enjoyed playing - this was apparent in a faultless rendition."

Scott of the Antarctic: Hero to Villain? Max Jones -
"Dr Jones put the arguments for and against Scott's hero status in a digestible and balanced way which allowed the audience to make up their own minds and answer the question for themselves."
Eastern Daily Press, 20 July 2011
"The well attended talk was much enjoyed by all and Jones said he was delighted to visit a place so close to the Sutton Bridge home of Scott's son, Sir Peter." Lynn News, 22 July 2011
