Recent Media Coverage of theNational Chamber Orchestra of Wales1) Welsh Music - Review of concert in the Gower Festival "The National Chamber Orchestra of Wales appeared in Oystermouth Church on Friday 31st July, mainly under the versatile baton of Wyn Davies. They gave an unusual concert of music by Morfydd Owen, Daniel Jones (his Oboe Concerto with John Anderson as the soloist) and colourful works by successful media composers Mark Thomas and Karl Jenkins. All this music had local associations and this praiseworthy venture was gratifyingly well received" Heward Rees. 2) Larry Adler speaking on BBC 1 Television about the N.C.O.W. "I have to say how wonderfully the orchestra played" 3) South Wales Evening Post - Review of Concert in the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea.
