On 4th October, Matthew Coorey performed with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland Camerata at the Cumnock Tryst Festival. They performed Strauss’s opera Der Rosenkavalier, arranged for wind ensemble by Nigel Shore.
The concert was reviewed on VoxCarnyx:
“Coorey’s taut direction brought alertness and cohesion to a monumental task. Yes, there were instances that tested the young musicians, but there was seldom a moment where Strauss’ calorific masterpiece didn’t feel like a meal you simply didn’t want to end.” Ken Walton
