That is a community service orchestra made of amateurs, retired professional musicians, and professional musicians playing on their second or third instruments, and the audience was full of children, some of whom came up on stage for part of the concert to watch and listen from among the orchestra.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Sylfaen, serif; "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Sylfaen, serif; ">Anyway, that’s likely the one you saw.
