TRAINING ENSEMBLES SHOWCASE CONCERT Sunday 13th September, 3.00pm, Grand Hall, City Halls, Glasgow West of Scotland Schools String Orchestra & Training Band Directed by David O’Connell & Michelle McCabe Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music featuring our exceptional training ensembles. The String Orchestra, under the expressive direction of David O’Connell, will take you on a sweeping journey through classical masterpieces—from the Baroque brilliance of J.S. Bach and the rare, cascading textures of Malecki’s Concertino for Harps and Strings , to the deeply moving lyricism of Elgar’s Sospiri and a stunning arrangement of Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings . Sharing the stage is our dynamic Training Band, directed by Michelle McCabe, bringing high energy and contemporary flair to the programme. They will showcase a vibrant selection of modern concert band works, including Carol Brittin Chambers’ Fearless , Holst’s classic Suite in E-flat , and thrilling narrative pieces by Steven Reineke, Michael Oare and JaRod Hall. Celebrating both timeless tradition and modern vitality, this concert promises something for every music lover.
