Peter Selwyn One of my local orchestras, the Lambeth Orchestra, is celebrating its 50th anniversary and will shortly be announcing its celebratory 2022/23 season. The orchestra, founded in 1972 and under the direction of Dr Christopher Fifield since 1982, is one of London's foremost amateur orchestras. But besides all this, there is other big news. Peter Selwyn has been appointed the orchestra's new principal conductor and he conducts the orchestra on 9 April 2022 in a programme that includes Dvorak's Symphonic Variations and RVW's A London Symphony and music by Ravel at All Saints' Church, West Dulwich.

This disc is a wonderful re-imagining, taking Sam Lee's folk-inspired vocals into new lands and territories with some magical instrumental textures from Peter Wigold (director and keyboard), Fraser Fifield (pipes and saxophone), Max Baillie (violin), Joel Bell (guitar), Ben Markland (bass),Simon Limbrick (percussion), and Martin Butler (piano).There are nine tracks on the disc and they arise out of live performances with Lee in 2014. Thanks to the varied experience of the members of the band, classical, jazz, folk, Scottish music and more, the results are intriguing and flexible.
