This was a very enjoyable concert. It was quite long but there was a great deal of variety to keep the audience engaged. Wayfaring Stranger by Peter Edwards was particularly moving. The concert was theatical, comical and hard-hitting, and the political theme was successfully brought home with pieces like Ortega's Lonquen. Looking forward to hearing it on the radio in April.
