"Awards for ALL"

The society has received a grant of £4047 from the ‘Awards for All’ programme. This is for four specific items:

  • The purchase of two timpani to start the formation of a percussion section for the orchestra.
  • Notice Board for outside West Park Church.
  • Create a web-site.
  • Purchase a computer for record keeping and use of music programmes.

STOP PRESS!

The concert that was to be held on Friday 30th November has been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. However, the Usworth Youth Orchestra, and guests, will be performing at West Park church in the New Year
......so watch this space!

Opera for ALL

Another successful evening, both musically and financially. The concert was held in the church, and not the church hall as had been planned due to repair work.

Editorial Address:

64 Kirkstone Avenue,
FuIwell,
SUNDERLAND.

Last Night of the Proms

A highly successful concert, but not as many tickets sold as had been hoped for. The playing was of a very high standard, and the Society is very grateful to all the members who played and also to the non-members who joined us for the occasion.

Overall, the Society suffered a financial loss, but gained a lot of very useful publicity and new friends.

Sunderland Ladies Choir and the Usworth School Chorale added a vocal dimension to the evening. Gary Nichol, who should have played French Horn was ‘marooned’ in Florida. Helen West kindly agreed to play the horn instead of 1st violin, and we thank Katie Ashton and David Milner who also stepped in at the last minute.
