The Bury St Edmunds Waitrose store collects green tokens in its charity box by the checkout. This month, West Suffolk Young Musician was one of the three beneficiaries and we have just received a cheque for £250. Many thanks to Waitrose and to everyone who put their tokens in the West Suffolk Young Musician slot.

For the first time, some of our finalists from last year’s competition will be performing in a Finalists’ Showcase Recital at 1.10pm in the Theatre Royal on Thursday 4th March. This is a Theatre Royal promotion in their Lunchtime Concert series which we hope may become an annual event if successful. It will be a varied concert given by Neema Binu (piano), Tom Ping (violin), Emma Cowper (oboe) and Catherine Harrison (soprano). James Thomas will be the accompanist. We hope to see some of you there. (Tickets available from the Theatre Royal Box Office 01284 769505 or www.theatreroyal.org ).

Dear Member
Thank you for supporting West Suffolk Young Musician with your kind donation.
We hope you enjoyed the Finalists’ Concert as much as we and the performers did. We have been delighted by the positive response we have had from our audience.
We have called this Newsletter No 1, but it may be the only one you receive in this format, as we hope in future you will be able to communicate to us via our web-site, the new PO Box address or, during competition times, using the voicemail box as above.
