German Tour 2015
German Tour 2015
The tour took us to Cheltenham’s twin town, Göttingen, and to Mönchengladbach. We gave a concert in Göttingen itself, one in Dransfeld nearby, and one in Rheydt, in Mönchengladbach. Many thanks are due: to our German hosts and the twinning associations in Cheltenham and Göttingen; to orchestra members who arranged programmes, venues, itineraries, flights and accommodation; to the Van People, who drove our precious instruments to Germany and back; to the three German colleagues who joined us there; to Rachel Howgego, for wonderful performances of the Elgar concerto, and leading the cellos for the rest of the programme!
