many audience members have never
experienced music of this quality in their

Local press have been extremely
complimentary and have spread the word of

Musical Director is now a regular contributor
to local radio prior to concerts.
The charity has provided work for over 50
musicians during the I￿0 concerts.
We have secured the services of a lead
violinist. Michael Gray who performs with the
BBC cOn￿rt Orchestra. The effect that his
playing and leadership have had on both
orchestral members and our audiences has
been phenomenal. He has thrown himself
into our work.
The orchestra has given performing
opportunities to young local singers who
have never had the opportunity to perform
wilh a 'live' orchestra before.
