Following this concert, we were delighted to make a donation of £2000 to The Hospice Charity Partnership (St Mary’s and John Taylor Hospices).
The November 2019 Playday was on Saturday, 2nd November, when we studied Saint-Saëns’ Symphony number 3.
Places may be available in a number of sections of the orchestra, e.g. most string instruments, and some others. Now that the COVID crisis is (hopefully) behind us and we are setting up full programmes for the future it is time to consider joining. Please ask!
SBS has a long record of support for St Mary’s Hospice and makes regular donations to this worthy cause from its concert profits. The upcoming concert is no exception.
