Sat 8th Mar – LAKES ENTRANCE ‘Community Performance’ 12:30 near the Footbridge

Through some twisty roads, wishing that I didn’t have a 220k trailer attached, I arrived at Mirboo North for an impromptu community performance.  Word of mouth saw 20 people turn up to enjoy an outside concert in the park.

Nagle College and Bairnsdale Secondary College were very appreciative of the performance.  The Bairnsdale Brass Band handled the intrusion of a stringed instrumentalist extremely well. I played a couple of pieces with accompanying images and tried to convert them to the wonders of the cello.

The community performance at Lakes Entrance was an interesting one.  I played at the National Junior Surf Life Saving Clubs Competition.  People were quite bemused by the sight of a cellist near the beach.  I even had to ride across the famous ‘Foot Bridge’, but was unable to stop to get a picture taken.
