Enjoy a rare double bass ensemble, a composition by NUSSO member, and quality performances of challenging string quartet pieces in this concert...

The double bass ensemble will be playing:

P.I. Tchaikovsky's Neapolitanian Dance (from Swan Lake)

Yours truly will be playing in the double bass ensemble. Please do come and support!

In this concert, you will also get to hear Suicidal Tendencies composed by one of my friends.

Hi Pinto, Pinkie: No worry if you can't come. Maybe you could help spread the word to those who might be interested?
