Event Summary & Thanks
Thank you for all of your efforts this term, in particular your resilience with all of the programme changes. I was really pleased with the way it all came together, and I think was my favourite Rococo concert so far. We made a fantastic sound, especially with the full orchestra, and the kids looked likely they had a good time too - I know the staff from Warwickshire Music Service were very grateful for us giving the children something to aspire towards.
— Ben Kingston, Conductor
