What the Friends of HCS do
The Society, which is a registered charity, depends on the support of
the Friends to be able to continue rehearsing, hiring music, giving concerts
and enriching the musical life of the community. For example, it costs £60 to
hire the room for 1 rehearsal, at least £200 to have a professional soloist at
a concert and hiring music costs over £300 per concert.
