[YUMPU epaper_id=62676175 width=”512″ height=”384″]This issue of Perspectives includes FRESH: art fair, Russian Art at The Paragon Gallery, Montpellier, Cheltenham, the CSO’s Young Composers’ Competition and much more.
a report on the highlight of Cheltenham Arts Council’s year – the AnnuaI Awards Ceremony held at The Playhouse Theatre in March. Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra’s conductor, David Curtis, tells Perspectives of his pleasure as the orchestra marks its 50th anniversary (1969 – 1919). The orchestra also places great value on nurturing the next generation of musical talent, offering a concert platform to the winner of the Gloucestershire Young Musicians Competition, and also instigating the Young Composer Competition. Martin Fry reports on the Gloucestershire Young Photographer of the Year Exhibition, held alongside Cheltenham Camera Club’s Annual Exhibition, at Chapel Arts in May. As always, the standard of photography in these collocated exhibitions was extremely high.
Cheltenham Silver Band also spans the generations, from 8 to 80, and has had a tremendous year, with its first-ever tour – a memorable visit to Belgium last summer and Sally Ferrers takes us on a visit to the Women in Aviation Exhibition at The Jet Age Museum, featuring Gloucestershire’s own Amy Johnson, Mary Ellis and Joy Lofthouse, whose contribution to aviation we salute.
I hope you find this news-packed edition of Perspectives of interest, celebrating, as it does, the impressive array of talent and commitment to the arts which we are privileged to enjoy in our town.
