On Saturday 7th March, a capacity audience of parents, grandparents, siblings, family and friends filled Eden Court Theatre in Inverness for an evening of outstanding live music.  They were treated to music-making of the highest standards throughout the whole of this event.

It is a credit to all the staff and volunteers who work with the groups to achieve this when we only see them six times over the year.

We're delighted to share that we managed to make a massive ticket profit of c.£350 after theatre costs… perhaps that helps make more sense of the recent constant requests for additional donations!

We couldn't be prouder of everyone involved, and we hope to see you all again at the next performance.
