Performers

London Octave
Samuel Coles Flute
Lorraine McAslan Violin
Dietrich Bethge Director

Samuel Coles is principal flautist of the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. He has performed concertos with them but also with other leading orchestras including the Orchestre de Paris. He has recorded the complete Mozart flute concertos with the English Chamber orchestra conducted by Yehudi Menuhin.

London Octave is formed from players who are or have been part of the finest London chamber orchestras like the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and the English Chamber Orchestra. They approach the baroque and classical repertoire in a fresh and vital manner, principally for the players’ own enjoyment and the enjoyment of the audience.
