Guy Edwards
Music Making
Various Groups
Since 2005
As well as singing with choirs and community opera groups, I have been lucky enough to be invited to sing as a guest soloist at some events, for example at an open air concert with the Shrivenham Military Wives Choir.
As an instrumentalist, I played 'cello with the Dauntsey Vale Chamber Group and, for many years, as a 'cellist with the Wessex Concert Orchestra including for a number of fantastic outdoor proms concerts.
I also organized, promoted, and sang in concerts and recitals such as the sell-out Amore charity concerts in Shrivenham and a Kunstleid recital in the Bristol Music Club.
I also compose and arrange music, but would be the first to admit that my compositions are less than spectacular!

Why did he write such devilishly difficult stuff? I enjoyed playing with the Wessex Concert Orchestra.
