Michael’s ‘Hereford Fantasia’ hailed a triumph!
Hereford’s new musical charity, The Herefordshire Music Fund, was launched at an inspiring concert in a packed Hereford Cathedral. Michael Bochmann, leader of the ESO, performed Vaughan Williams’ Lark Ascending. A key aspect of the concert was the involvement of young players, students and professionals in collaboration. Commenting afterwards Michael said: “The occasion was seriously important for the future of music and music education in Herefordshire, a big event of real significance. What was heart-warming too was the very enthusiastic response from children and teachers. One little boy said to me ‘I really like music now’!”
