A lucky audience had the amazing pleasure of attending the February 4, 2012 concert featuring The Schubert Ensemble from London playing with eight BHS students as part of the Menuhin Youth Orchestra. The combined talents of the visiting ensemble and the students left the audience breathless! The musicality, professionalism and excitement with


which the pleasing


repertoire was played was both uplifting and awe-inspiring. The audience was most appreciative and the ensemble musicians very complimentary when speaking about the students. These musicians are to be congratulated for their dedication and recognised for their talent.
