The Pico Players' Autumn Concert - Friday 13th November 2026

Join us for The Pico Players' Autumn Concert 2026! As well as couple of favourites in the Copland and Rachmaninov we are delighted to be playing Puts' Contact.

Contact is a beautiful, energetic triple concerto written in 2020 for 2 violins and a double bass. We are very excited to be welcoming back Freya Goldmark as one of the soloists, along with our very own Manuel dell’Oglio on double bass. Emma Purslow completes the trio. And in further excitement, we understand this will be its UK premiere! Kevin Puts is a much garlanded composer so this is a lovely honour to have!

• Copland: Fanfare to the Common Man
• Puts: ⁠Contact [Triple Concerto for String Trio and Orchestra]
• Rachmaninov: Symphony No 3

Violins: Freya Goldmark and Emma Purslow
Double Bass: Manuel dell'Oglio
Conductor: Patrick Massey

As always proceeds from our concert will go towards a charity nominated by members of the orchestra with over £120,000 raised over the last decade!
