⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from Guardian music for Sunday's performance Bristol Beacon: 'Under conductor David Ogden, Odyssey’s strength was that – often in the simplest of ways – it evoked the terror, despair and squalor of the journeys undertaken' theguardian.com/music/2024/jan… #BeKindBristol #refugee

'Nothing short of a triumph'
