 A day with the Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra. Sunday 9th May.Our first effort to help this community orchestra was fun and successful. We had great feed back with the added bonus of a free concert. We were able to supply man power for the box office and refreshments at interval.
We supplied coffee or tea at a $1 a cup and a piece of cake or slice for a $1. There were approximately 200 in the audience and most used our service at interval.
