The Seasons

In an unexpected change of role, Jean Shaw conducted the concert at St Andrew’s Church and did it superbly. We had a very nearly full house, which was pleasing, but the stars of the evening, from the audience’s point of view, were Marina and Alan, whose keyboard skills left people gasping.
