*We are honoured that Irina Walters, widow of our much-missed trombonist Hywel Walters, joined us to conduct Gabriel’s Oboe on the night. Hywel, a valued member of our trombone section, sadly passed away last year. This performance, just two weeks short of what would have been his 58th birthday, was dedicated to his memory, celebrating his lasting contribution to the orchestra and the warmth and musicianship he brought to us all.
