What an exciting program for our island children – and their parents and grandparents!. This years childrens program was a never to be forgotten experience in real music making. As Chair of MAG ( Music Advocacy Group) I thank all the incredible musicians for the thoughtful time they gave to the exciting opportunity to introduce our island children to the joy of music-making. We all learned something! We were delighted to be a part of a memorable afternoon of music-making.
