Northumbrian Symphonic Ensembles Chamber Orchestra concert in Berwick hailed a success
On June 24, the Northumbrian Symphonic Ensembles Chamber Orchestra performed a wonderful concert of classical music at Berwick Parish Church, with the proceeds from the evening being donated to two local charities: The Berwick Swan and Wildlife Trust and the Berwick and District Cancer Support Group.
It was very well attended, with the church almost full on a very hot summer evening. The programme consisted of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte Overture, Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 and Schubert’s Symphony No. 3.
