It was wonderful to hear talented oboist and Howell’s alumna Myfanwy P perform in the Royal Albert Hall with the Chineke! Orchestra at the Proms on the evening of Tuesday 24th August. The orchestra, which is one of Britain’s most diverse orchestras, performed a varied programme including premieres of Florence Price’s Piano Concerto in One Movement performed by Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and Fela Sowande’s African Suite for Strings as well as a performances of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Overture to Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast and First Symphony in A Minor. Myfanwy had several prominent solo passages in the symphony and an even more prominent duet with the pianist in the concerto. What tremendous evening of music making it was from Myfanwy and the whole orchestra.
