10th Annual
Local Young Performers' Soirée
Saturday 15 February 2025 at 7:30 pm
Our annual Local Young Performers Soirée is a highly popular event where the enthusiastic Breinton audience wholeheartedly supports budding young talents. This year, we invite Hanhan Qu (flute), Yash Saran (piano), Morwenna Rees (saxophone) and Laura Lin (cello). This is one of the rare opportunities where we can appreciate four different instruments and four diverse programmes in one evening, and we can already feel the excitement!
