Following a very successful event at The Venue MK on 15 March 2024. We are very pleased to receive our first official concert review from Shahnaz Hussain (Shiny), Arts reviewer.
‘The evening at The Venue in Milton Keynes was packed with a varied programme, commencing with Rossini’s Opera overture from the Italian Girl in Algiers. This was a perfect opening appetiser for the evening, whipping up excitement with overflowing catchy, cheeky tunes that came repeatedly. The brightness, thrill and vivaciousness of the music was glorious as it reached out to the audience.
This was followed by Faure’s Pavane, Op. 50, (a courtly early 16th-century Spanish dance) probably familiar to many due to its frequent use in film soundtracks and TV series. It is said it was likely to have been composed whilst Faure was grieving the death of his father. This beautiful piece deserves recognition for its gliding dream-like quality that hypnotically entrances the audience.
…
…I can’t believe that anyone would not have an amazing evening going to an Alina Orchestra performance, it is such a well-worth and addictive experience.’
