As things begin to return to 'normal' we are looking forward to resuming concert-giving activities when the time is right and it is good to report that we are receiving enquiries for concerts from September onwards.
As an ensemble we are continuing to develop our programmes, freshening up the Georgian presentation with new repertoire.
Do get in touch - we welcome any enquiries no matter how tentative..
With very best wishes to everyone.
Peter Harrison, director Concert Royal, August 2021
