Lovely review of Saturday’s @TheCBSO concert with @JenniferPikeVLN CBSO Benevolent Fund Concert https://t.co/hZ534DbhDm

[Patrick McDermott 💙 @sibelian62]

Great concert to raise money for CBSO musicians who need help in times of hardship or specialist medical treatment so they can still play. Roadworks in B'Ham are certainly a huge disincentive to travel to concerts. 😟 Jennifer Pike was excellent! 😊

Thank you @TheCBSO @JenniferPikeVLN @SteveBell62 for a beautiful box of delights and drama, brilliantly played in aid of @CBSOBenevolent Fund 😁
