“The Cardiff University School of Music is buzzing with activity and has been all week. Third years have been giving the performances of their lives to audiences in the department’s concert hall, performing half an hour’s worth of repertoire each, in their last ever undergraduate university examinations. It has been a terrifying, exciting and all round emotional week for most, even for the audience members: Teary eyes have been spotted on many occasions.

“Now, the musicians turn to their orchestral scores; getting ready for what are set to be three spectacular concerts, while the tour management busy themselves double and triple checking everything is ready and set to go.

Meanwhile, none of us can contain our excitement. It is going to be a truly incredible week. Keep an eye on this website for more updates as we go along.”

There’ll be more updates from Bronwen during the tour over at the Symphony Orchestra’s new website. You can also follow the Symphony Orchestra on Facebook and Twitter.
