Welcome to new volunteers
We extend our welcome to new volunteers Lucy Gleeson and Nina Goc. Thank you both, and we wish you the very best with your journalism studies.
We are all things musical this month.
The Metropolitan Orchestra
Firstly, I was fortunate to attend a performance of the Metropolitan Orchestra at Leichhardt Town Hall. This orchestra is supported by Inner West Council, and the concert was free and attended by a full house of music lovers. If you get a chance to catch up with them, you will be amazed at their expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm. Contact for future events.
