THE Capriol Orchestra is to give a concert at St Mary’s Church, North Woodchester on Saturday at 7.30pm.

Violinist Olivia Doflein joins the orchestra to perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto, No 2.

Ms Doflein graduated from the Royal College of Music with honours in 2012 and has an impressive concert schedule to her name, having toured widely in Britain and The Netherlands.

Of the violin concerto, she said: “I remember listening to it for the first time; it was like listening to a strange fairytale, a tinge on the dark side perhaps. There are so many off-beat characters who take the audience by the hand and show them what their world is like.”

Capriol will also be playing Butterworth’s The Banks of Greenwillow, written in 1913, and first performed in 2014.

The concert finishes with Haydn’s popular London’Symphony, no 104 in D major. It is the last of 12 symphonies known collectively as The London Symphonies.

Tickets are £9/£7 in advance from orchestra members or Stroud Tourist Information, or £10/£8 on the door. Children go free.
