The Jopes Orchestra

A popular orchestral programme including Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture and Beethoven’s First Symphony, with soprano Imogen Dowse singing Mozart

The Jopes Orchestra returns to St Germans Priory Church with a programme of much loved orchestral music including Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture and Beethoven’s First Symphony. They will be joined by soprano Imogen Dowse for a selection of Mozart arias.

The orchestra brings together professional musicians from across the South West, conducted by Nick Beach, and led by Phil Montgomery-Smith.

What people have said about past concerts:

The quality of playing and venue was perfect.
We loved the choice of music and the wonderful professional playing.
Glorious uplifting music!
We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, mixture of music genres, and of course the high standard of performance.
