Royal Northern Sinfonia Concert - Easter Day
Members of RNS came to play for Wooler Arts for the first time in an afternoon of chamber music in St Mary's Church on Easter Day. The programme of Richard Strauss and Brahms was glorious and brought real rays of sunshine. The playing was superb, the audience large and enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was thrilling. Such passion and emotion in the music confirmed, as we all know, that live music of this quality is one of our greatest cultural riches. Thank you, everyone, for your invaluable support for the arts at a time when they are undoubtedly being made to struggle. For sure, RNS will return to Wooler in the not too distant future.
