Folk on the Move: Musical Journeys through Eastern Europe
Coronation Hall, Ulverston, Cumbria
A week-long event in the Lake District: Gundula and Martin led workshops with two schools and the South Lakes Folk Choir
during the week, and were joined on the Friday by the LGO's Professional Ensemble for a fantastic concert in Coronation Hall
combining the choirs with the Orchestra. Photos below from the rehearsals, by Joanne Murray.
"We were at your concert tonight and we wanted to say thank you so much for opening our eyes to your music. A truly inspirational evening which the whole audience enjoyed. We may not have danced and sang enough (we are English!) but we did enjoy it so much. Thanks to you and all of the LGO!!"
