Primary Schools Concerts, 2012

Waterford Concert Orchestra performed in the school hall in St. Mary’s National School in Thomastown on June 12^th , 2012.  There were two concerts, with more than 500 children from many of the nearby schools, attending each one.  The children sat on the floor, and the hall was full to capacity.  The children were enthralled by the music, the choice of music was perfect, and the children gave the musicians their full attention, really enjoying the demonstration of the woodwind instruments.  The school packs were invaluable, Kevin’s interaction with the children was superb, and the musicians made the occasion special for the children.  The children from St. Mary’s enjoyed the participation of their teacher, Mr. Reade.  We have already decided we want the Orchestra to play for us again next year, and hope it will become an annual event.
