Patron
“Solent Concert Orchestra is a huge asset to the arts community and the wider public, here in the New Forest and beyond. Its dedication and enthusiasm are outstanding, and the combination of experienced and relatively new musicians produces truly impressive results. Some of the performances feature original compositions – most notably ‘Lymington Quay’ by Tony Kitcherside, which is my particular favourite.” Our patron, Sir Julian Lewis, May 2023.
