Where to see the Spa Orchestra this week

The 2018 season has been a glorious one for The Spa Orchestra, the great summer of weather has led to healthy ticket sales with thousands descending on the Spa’s Suncourt and Grand Hall to enjoy a wide range of light music despite the cliff strengthening project in progress nearby.

There were also a couple of changes in terms of line up and appearance:

Rebecca Smith took up the violin hot seat which has led probably for the first time ever, the Spa Orchestra has achieving gender equality: five men and five ladies.

There was also a new look for the morning concerts. Out went the Edwardian striped blazers which have been variously described over their many years as deck chair material and in came the modern smart navy blue waistcoats for all the musicians with matching ties or neck-scarves.

The Orchestra’s wide variety of music also entertained many young children with an extended Teddy Bears’ Picnics programme not only providing great entertainment but allowing youngsters to learn about the Orchestra and its instruments too.
