MEMBERS of the English Symphony Orchestra, which is based in Worcestershire, have been busy performing concerts in care homes.

Classical guitar and cello duo Downside Up performed at the Herriotts in Worcester Road, Droitwich, Brambles in Birchfield Road, Redditch, and the Breme Care Home in Providence Road, Bromsgrove.

Alison King, of the orchestra, said: “The ESO takes live music directly to different strands of the community, to those who can benefit from the power of music, and perform directly to them.

“We hope we can really bring some festive cheer through our music.”
