Divertimento Concert Orchestra with Dartington Community Choir - May 2010

'Brenda Willoughby led the most impressive orchestra with assured expertise, where, under Jonathan Watts concise and abundantly clear beat the ensemble was virtually faultless'. Philip Buttall, Plymouth Herald.

"Vicky Evans of Divertimento Entertainments has supplied our choral society with an orchestra for many years now.  I have found her unfailingly friendly, efficient and helpful.  We have always been supplied with exactly the orchestra we have requested.  She is able to handle all the potentially tricky situations like fees and expenses negotiations as well as dealing with requests for particular players.  From our initial discussions about musician numbers through to the day of the concert, correspondence, usually by e mail, is dealt with rapidly.  I will always use her services and can unreservedly recommend her to other organisations requiring professional musicians"

"Divertimento has provided a full orchestra for annual promenade concerts for the past three years.  Our venue is probably one of the most difficult possible being on a stage over water in the harbour of Polperro with no vehicular access, and over half a mile from the nearest car park.  Despite this, the orchestras have always been on time, good humoured, superb and a pleasure to work with.  Vicky and her team seem to overcome all difficulties (which are many in our case), and we cannot praise too highly their professionalism in arranging everything necessary for three very memorable events, again, always in the best spirit possible.  We would not consider using anyone else and we look forward to many more liaisons in the future."
