I'm writing this letter to express my appreciation for the brilliant concert presented by the Bay of Plenty Symphonia on Sunday. Under the baton of the new resident conductor, Justus Rozemond, we were presented with "A Taste of Europe". Of particular interest was the brass section playing from the balcony above the audience giving a stereophonic effect to Gabrieli's Sonata. The highlight of the concert was the violin solo of Martin Riseley playing five movements of Symphonie Espagnole. We are fortunate to have such talented musicians in the BOP.
