 PRESS RELEASE


RENOWNED CELLIST TO VISIT
All Saints Parish Church Okehampton


Internationally known cellist Orlando Jopling will visit All Saints Parish Church, Okehampton on Wednesday 7^th July at 7.30pm as part of his ‘Cello Pilgrimage’, raising money for the restoration and renovation of parish churches by filling them with the sound of Bach's cello suites.

'I'm still basking in the glory of that magical Bach cello recital'

In between composing for theatre and television and conducting the Royal Philharmonic and English Chamber Orchestra, 38-year-old Orlando Jopling is returning to his first love, the cello.

'A truly magical evening and we are still glowing with pleasure'

Having studied under William Pleeth and Steven Isserlis, Orlando has given recitals in Europe, the US and India, played chamber music with leading British musicians and performed as part of the cello section of the Philharmonia, London Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

‘Thank you so much for giving us such a memorable evening. It couldn't have been more of a success.’

Embarking on a long-held dream, he is spending a part of his time performing the Bach suites, hoping to help re-invigorate churches as community gathering places, and raising money for the restoration of their fabric.

So far he has raised over £10,000 and aims to raise £20,000 by the end of this year.

Please contact Ann Pantrey on 01837 55830, annpantrey@btinternet.com     or Janet Coopey on 01837 53701, janetcoopey@btinternet.com for more information on the recital.  Email ruth.paton@mac.com to organise an interview with Orlando Jopling.

“I, for one, am very much looking forward to following this Pilgrim trailing Bach, beauty and passion with him into parish churches around England.
I urge you all to join me!”
