Beethoven weekend

To mark Jeffrey Babb's retirement from the GCDYO, the orchestra organised a Beethoven weekend; under the direction of Mr Babb, past and present members sight-read through all the symphonies and two concertos in three days. The weekend ran faultlessly, due mainly to the organisational skills of Sue Parr, and all the players enjoyed it immensely.

Pictures from the weekend are available in from the photo gallery. To go directly, click on this link to the social event.
