Autumn Concert Raises £800 for CamSight
Well done to all orchestra members who played in the concert on Saturday evening. Everyone played beautifully, and we received a good deal of positive feedback. Logged in members of the orchestra can hear how good it sounded, as Jin Collins, wife of Richard Collins, recorded the entire concert and the recordings are available to listen on our website.
