People say the nicest things!

President - Heywood Probus ClubJuly 2018

I just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed 'the Gorton Philharmonic experience'. The orchestra was brilliant, and Juan Ortuño was so entertaining and brings out the best in everyone. Also, The Monastery setting and the music was all wonderful - thank you so much; we look forward to next time.

Juan OrtuñoFebruary 2020

The music had lots of beautiful moments and we portrayed the drama with intensity from beginning to end. We had many positive comments from the audience, someone even said that it was the best the orchestra has ever sounded!

Professor Kevin MaloneOctober 2021

Professor Malone from Manchester University was so positive about the concert! He was surprised not to have heard of the GPO and indicated that he would definitely be coming to hear us again!

Professor Barry CooperOctober 2021

Professor Cooper, one of the world's leading Beethoven experts commented on the "entertaining programme notes".

Juan OrtuñoApril 2022

The Wagner and Debussy had magical moments with a beautiful, blended sound, and the woodwind solos were wonderful! The Poulenc ballet had real character, and some members of the audience loved the funny elements of the piece.

Paul and Rosy HickmanMay 2023

Many thanks for making us so welcome yesterday. We really enjoyed playing with the orchestra again.

AvrilNovember 2023

I was at the Stoller Hall on Saturday. All the music was well chosen and played with passion. 'The Armed Man' was very moving. Hearing the music played and sung by people who participated with love, as true 'amateurs', made it more heartfelt. Thank you!

Ollie Cross, Cllr. for PadfieldDecember 2024

The orchestra was joined by City of Manchester Opera and together they put in a fantastic performance in front of a full house at Gorton Monastery. The concert had a little bit of something for everyone, offering a brilliant mix of uplifting classical and Christmas music. And the spectacular surroundings of Gorton Monastery made it an unforgettable afternoon.
