This will be the inaugural concert of his own ochestra, The Stobbs
Scratch. Alex will conduct his orchestra as well as talented soloists
Sophie Junker, Tim Mead, William Balkwill, John McMunn, Matthew Sprange
and Ashley Riches. The programme will include Mozart's Symphony No.35
in D major (‘Haffner’) and Bach's The Contest between Phoebus and Pan.
