Concert Reviews
"At Cheltenham Town Hall, Denise Ham conducted some 80 of the best local players so that they became one enthralling instrument able to move hearts."
Gloucestershire Echo
"Nothing could have been more professional than the superb string playing from these mature but still youthful players...Conductor Denise Ham knew how to let the music breathe without losing control of phrasing and dynamics."
Gloucestershire Echo
"Dazzling Debut for Youth Orchestra ... under her direction the strings were especially impressive - well-balanced, nicely focused and always perfectly in tune. Soloists from woodwind, percussion and brass played with flair and confidence."
Aberdeen Press and Journal
“…the Italian Symphony..served as an excellent foil to the exquisite Siegfried Idyll which followed. This was performed with affection and sensitivity throughout”
Gloucestershire Echo
"Saturday's performance of my Concertantino was by a long way the best I have had. Your tempi were exactly right, and so was the spirit of the whole thing...Thank you for all you did to bring it all to life so marvellously."
