DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
As is the case with all performing arts organisations, our programme of public events paused in March. We very much hope to be able to restart our concerts again in November, depending on three factors: the government

We have planned the following concerts at present:
Wednesday 18 November (venue tbc)
