The Salomon Orchestra has been recognised for many years as London's leading non-professional symphony orchestra, renowned for high quality performances of innovative programmes.
Rehearsing The Planets at Cheltenham with Martyn Brabbins, November 2008
'...their playing sounded thoroughly professional. They also brought something extra to the music - a sense of enthusiasm, commitment and adventure that you do not always find in the ranks of professional symphony orchestras.' Seen and Heard International, November 2008.
'There was nothing to give away that this is a non-professional orchestra so sumptuous was their sound and committed their approach.' music OMH, March 2009
Excerpt from a review of the Rite of Spring on 14th October 2008 :
'The devil is in the detail and much of the detail was spot on here... The performance seemed to fly by and one really longed to hear it all again.' Classical Music blog - Robert Hugill
