We are delighted to announce the appointment of Harvey Brink as our new Principal Conductor, starting in September. He will lead his first public concert with the orchestra on 15th November.

Harvey is Deputy Director of Music at Wells Cathedral School, where he regularly conducts the student Symphony Orchestra. He brings a wealth of conducting and leadership experience, a wide repertoire, and an infectious enthusiasm for making music in the community.

Speaking about his appointment, Harvey said:

“I am thrilled to be joining the Mid-Somerset Orchestra as Principal Conductor. Having already been associated with the orchestra through my role at Wells Cathedral School, I know what a welcoming and committed musical community it is. I’m looking forward to starting work with the musicians in September and sharing great performances with our audiences in Somerset.”

We are excited to begin this new chapter with Harvey and look forward to welcoming audiences to his inaugural concert, our Family Matinee on Sunday 15th November at 3pm in Strode Theatre.
