The Welsh Chamber Orchestra
We have been again extremely lucky to again get this chamber orchestra for Curry Rivel. Their previous visits have been wonderful, and another chance to host them is eagerly anticipated!
The Orchestra was founded in 1986 and has performed with many of the world’s greatest soloists, undertaken several European concert tours and performed throughout the UK.
The Orchestra’s Artistic Director and Principal Conductor is Anthony Hose, who began piano lessons at the age of three and gave his first recital aged six.,
He studied at the Royal College of Music in London in Piano, Harpsichord and Conducting and in addition studied Clarinet and Double Bass. His conducting studies continued in Salzburg and with Rafael Kubelik in Munich and Geneva.
Anthony has worked with many orchestras throughout Europe and in the UK. He has also directed many opera house productions and has over 100 operas in his repertoire.
He is Director of Orchestras at Stetson University in Florida and has brought music students over to the UK on tour, including Curry Rivel, on three occasions before travelling north with them to perform at the Beaumaris Festival.
