About Us

Do please call the Divertimento team with your requirements and Vicky, Jonathan, Corinne or Penny will be delighted to help you.

Vicky Evans founded Divertimento Entertainments about 20 years ago. As a classical musician herself, she plays the cello in several chamber ensembles, including the Rosewood String Quartet, and orchestras in the South West of England. Divertimento's work is divided into three parts, firstly booking music and entertainment for weddings, corporate events, parties, funerals and conferences. Secondly, for years now she has been booking musicians to give concerts on cruises liners, and playing on them herself with her Divertimento Trio and Quartet. www.musiciansforcruises.com. The third part of Vicky's business is as an orchestral fixer/manager through Divertimento Orchestral. She regularly books professional players for various orchestras in the South West, to give concerts, and to accompany choral societies.

Jonathan Watts assists in the Divertimento office concentrating on marketing and classical musicians. He is a distinguished organist, pianist, musical director etc.

Corinne Ireson works with Vicky at Divertimento on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

Penny Grove is in the office on Monday and Friday mornings.
