Concert Details

Our next concert will be on 22nd November in Lavenham Church and we are proud and excited that Melinda and James are performing with us. Brahms' Double Concerto for Violin and Cello is a masterpiece and his final orchestral work. His Hungarian dances are amongst his most popular works, originally written for piano and inspired by his study of folk music. Dvorak's Slavonic Dances are a series of vibrant orchestral works, bringing the sounds and spirit of Eastern European folk music to Lavenham.

Melinda studied the violin at the Junior Royal Academy of Music before attending King's College London to complete her BMus(Hons) degree. While at university she studied the violin with Susan Collier at the Royal Academy of Music and was awarded a Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music Diploma in violin performance. She has since performed a number of concertos with orchestras and is involved in many orchestras and ensembles.

James studied at the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. He has played chamber music all around the world including concert tours of Europe, China and the US. He is a regular guest on the television programme Dave Gorman’s 'Modern Life is Goodish' with the Billroth Ensemble and  has worked for recordings and performances with Rick Wakeman, The Puppini Sisters and X factor.
