Today we held our long-anticipated Play Day 2020 at Christ Church with St Laurence Brondesbury, working on Dvořák’s celebrated Serenade for Strings. The culmination of several months of practice at home, it was (like all Nonesuch Play Days) a hugely rewarding experience, as conductor Dan Shilladay and leader Stephanie Waite guided the orchestra through the shifting moods of nostalgia, humour and exuberance of this popular piece.

Many thanks to the Rev’d Natasha Woodward and Hilary Berg for their warm welcome and for helping us keep everybody safe.
