news item picture Chamber Concert 3, September 18th 2011
The third chamber concert in the function rooms of Eastbank once again attracted an audience of approximately 150, making all three concerts of similar size. When Wendy Oakes asked the question who had been to at least one of the previous concerts, about 75 percent of the audience put up their hands. All three concerts have certainly attracted a loyal audience, which bodes well for the future. This concert featured members of the brass and wind sections of the orchestra, as well as a vocal item and a number of other solos.
