2008- 2009 Season

Hello, I hope you’ve all had a good Summer and ready to play again.

Although we usually present 2 or 3 concerts a year and have fun sight-reading during the odd repertoire day, this season all three events will take the form of repertoire days, each concluding with an informal concert, open without charge to members of the public.
