The concert was a great success with a substantial audience of around 300. The venue was a lovely acoustic although the spectacle from the floor must have been less than ideal with such a high stage. Nevertheless the orchestra members thoroughly enjoyed playing in a setting that afforded them the luxury of hearing each other beautifully thus enhancing the ensemble and musicality of the performance.
After the afternoon rehearsal we enjoyed a relaxing, convivial meal at the Douglas Arms Hotel.
