What a fantastic evening of music! 🎶✨

A huge thank you to the Bute Quintet for bringing such a wonderful programme to Helensburgh Music Society last night.

From the beautiful colours and character of the French repertoire by Milhaud, Ravel, Ibert, Poulenc and Taffanel, to Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite, it was a real treat from start to finish.

It was wonderful to see another great audience at Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre - HLCC Events enjoying live music together🫶

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us, we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did!

Another brilliant night for the Helensburgh Music Society concert season 🤍🎶
