Thank you, our wonderful friends and supporters, for your amazing support of our Peter and the Wild concert last Saturday. This was the first concert in our 40th Birthday season and the appreciation you showed us was fantastic. We especially loved the children in the audience enjoying their first taste of an orchestral concert. Thank you to our guests, Councillor Paul Bishop who narrated Peter and the Wolf for us and Bayside Dance who complimented our music with beautiful choreography and dancing.

We look forward to bringing you our next concert on June 6th where we will feature some brilliant, young, up and coming pianists along with Beethoven's Pastorale Symphony.

Just a thought - get in quick to assure your tickets. We sold out for our concert last weekend.
