Young and gorgeous! (Jack Davies)

Sadly, this refers to my new viola, rather than the totally untalented player holding it. After decades as a roaming IT contractor, I returned to playing at the age of 60 – and promptly broke both arms! However, the wonderful PSO gave me a home during my rehabilitation, and I’ve never looked back.

I cannot recall meeting so many lovely people in one place before! My first impression (since confirmed many times over) was that rehearsals were both challenging and FUN! The same can be said of our performances; playing to full houses of appreciative audiences inspires the orchestra to give of its best – especially those who want to demonstrate their lovely new instruments!
