Our grand finale of the 2011/12 season was our triple header with our friends in the Caithness Schools Wind Band and a brass ensemble formed by pupils and and staff from Gordonstoun and Highland Schools. For many of the 16 strong ensemble, it was there first visit to the Highlands. There group was led by Conductor, Susan Dingle who was familiar to many already in the Highlands as conductor of both the Highland regional Youth Orchestra and Highland Chamber Orchestras.

The brass ensemble kicked off the concert with Copland's Fanfare for the common man and finished a 20 minute set with 3 movements form an arrangement for brass of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
