Saturday 21st October - Guest Conductor for Intermediate and Main Orcehstras - Marco Bellasi
What a special treat it was for the Intermediate and Main Orchestras to be conducted by this young aspiring conductor from Milan. Marco was encouraging, energetic and found many ways of helping us improve our sound. We all worked very hard but the experience was extremely enjoyable. See the photo gallery for pictures.
Marco has just finished his appointment as Junior-Fellows conductor at the RNCM in Manchester. In addition to the RNCM orchestra, he has worked with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, the Hallé Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra and Ensemble 10/10, the official chamber orchestra of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
He has performed with many amateur orchestras in the north of England such as Wilmslow Symphony Orchestra, Stockport Symphony Orchestra, Gorton Philharmonic and Amaretti Chamber Orchestra and some of you saw him conduct the Chester Philharmonic's recent Sibelius concert. He is also Musical Director of the Opera Viva amateur opera company in Liverpool.
