The first concert in the Hackney Proms Spring 2005 season was a resounding success. You can find some photos further down the page, and a selection of audio samples from the performance. Here is a small sample of some of the comments we received:


A really wonderful event - musically, socially and community-wise

I enjoyed the concert very much as well and hope to be able to make the next two

The concert was spectacular - roll on the next one

… wonderful to hear local classical music. Thank you!

Sunday's performance was a total delight

… a memorable morning of music

Wonderful - especially the Vivaldi

It was an absolute triumph - word will get around and people will fight for tickets!
