We comprise some of our older members and also one of our youngest who has come through our student bursary scheme. This is the second time that GCOS members have performed at Carnegie, the previous time was for the premier of The Peacemakers in 2012. We are delighted to be able to perform another of Sir Karl Jenkins amazing works.
