Paul Carr
Crowded Streets
The Sussex Symphony Orchestra
Catalogue No: CC4833-2

The Sussex Symphony Orchestra was founded in January 1993 by its present principal conductor, Mark Andrew - James. Such was the interest in this new venture, at the first concert 150 people had to be turned away from the concert hall. Spurred on by obvious need for such an organisation, the SSO has gone on to perform up to 14 concerts per year.

On Paul Carr : "Paul has immense vitality, enthusiasm, and creativity. His music reflects his warmth, and love of life, and speaks to both performer and listener. I am deeply honoured to know him and to play his music"

(Andrew Franks)
