    The EOO made history as the first ensemble to play classical music at the Regal in Cowley Road. This former cinema has been reinvented as a nightclub and venue for live music. Its programme suggests the venue is aimed primarily at students, but Sunday’s concert was aimed at families. It was good to see a number of young children in the audience — even if they did occasionally add a few sound effects of their own. The programme was a journey through some of the baroque masterpieces of Telemann, Handel and Bach, starting with Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G major. This was a brave effort, with some competent work from soloist Monica Cuneo, but it was taken at a rather pedestrian tempo. Director Mel Houldershaw conducted with an energy never quite reciprocated by the players.
