As term settles into its new pattern, our usual routine of concerts and recitals would normally be on the very near horizon. Currently, restrictions prevent us from performing in large groups.

The Visiting Music Teachers have done a fantastic job continuing to offer instrumental tuition remotely via Zoom and we thank them for keeping music part of our children’s lives.
