Fill the Theatre

LAST Sunday evening, my
wife and I attended the Promenade Concert given by the Sunderland Symphony Orchestra at
the Sunderland Empire. It was an event to be remembered.
This orchestra, under the expert direction of Rupert
Hanson, goes from strength to strength with every subsequent performance.
There was music for all tastes, from Abba to Tchaikovsky.
Sarah Busfield was a delight to listen to, and those effervescent children from St John
Boste RC School were absolutely wonderful. While the circle at the theatre was fairly full
there were many empty seats in the stalls. At their next concert, let us make sure that
all those seats are filled. Our orchestra deserves nothing less.
