Workshop Day Feb 2025

Our workshop day in 2025 was a great success. Terrific to see so many strings raising the roof in Beethovens Eroica symphony!

We were also treated to a beautiful rendition of the Bruch violin concerto by Savannah Brown. A real privilege to play with such a talented musician.
