After the concert

What a concert day is like

Concerts are short and warm. Each student plays a piece or two, the group plays together and everyone shares food afterward. Wear what is comfortable, and bring someone to clap.

  • Playing is always a choice

  • Phones on silent

  • Every family is welcome to stay
