Meet the strings … the double bass, cello, viola and violin are the heart of any orchestra

August 21, 2012

Schoolchildren from across the South Burnett had an opportunity at the weekend to “meet” an orchestra and learn all about the different instruments – and the sounds they make.

The South Burnett Community Orchestra held a free “Meet The Orchestra” concert at St John’s Lutheran Primary School Hall in Kingaroy on Saturday afternoon.

The audience also had the opportunity to talk to the musicians.
