Volante Strings was formed in 1999 by Megan Webb and the late Angela Richey. The name Volante means 'fast and light' and comes from the Italian word for flying. It is used to describe a particular style of bowing, but the orchestra has also flown in other ways - there have been four concert tours to Greece and more recently to Ostend and Bruges. The ensemble generally plays in chamber style without a conductor and their programmes encompass a varied and challenging range of music. As well as Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring well-loved local pianist Janine Smith, they will perform works by Avison, Grieg, Delius and Vivaldi.
