THE Orpheus Sinfonia will welcome the summer with a concert at Radley Farm, near Hungerford.
The Orpheus Foundation is hosting an afternoon of picnicking on the lawn and an evening of classical music on Saturday at the home of the Orpheus Foundation Trust chairman, Trevor Gore.
The concert begins at 6pm and guests are invited to tuck into their picnics in the stunning grounds from 4pm and after the concert.
The foundation supports talented young musicians through the production of around twenty orchestral projects and recitals annually in central London and at Radley Farm.
Patron of the foundation, Dame Judi Dench, said: "The Orpheus Foundation deserves all the support we can give it.
"As a charity it is immensely deserving, as a musical enterprise it is utterly inspiring and as a mission it is absolutely unique."
Following the success of last year's sell-out concert, conductor of the Orpheus Sinfonia Achim Holub will present an exquisite programme of Johann Strauss II's Emperor Waltz, Bruch's Violin Concerto No 1 in G minor and Dvorak's symphony No 8 in G.
Popular Belgian violinist Leonard Schreiber will grace the stage as the soloist in the acclaimed Bruch Violin Concerto.
Chairman of the Orpheus Foundation Trust, Trevor Gore is looking forward to the concert:
"My family always feels extremely pleased to support the Orpheus Sinfonia. The project at Radley Farm is a memorable and a rewarding experiment - exciting to produce, thrilling to watch and wonderful to host."
Tickets are £25 and are available from The Orpheus Foundation's box office on 020 7629 1830 or email boxoffice@orpheusfoundation.com
