December 2009, St. Saviourgate Unitarian Chapel, York
This charity concert offered a relaxed evening of beautiful flute music show-cased students of the Quiñones Flute Studio accompanied by David Hammond. After a mince-pie filled interval flautist Jessica Quiñones played a spicy selection of hot-blooded Latin flute music to take away the cold December chill! Catherine and Jessica rounded off the concert with a stunning performance of Mike Mower's Sonata Latino.
We raised £291.00 for the York-based charity Jessie's Fund. Thank you to everyone involved for their generosity.

October 2009, The Sage Gateshead
Perhaps one of The Cobweb Orchestra's most ambitious projects to-date. But why shouldn't people have the opportunity to sing and play in such a fantastic work?
Players and singers gathered from as far away as Wales to join us for this exhilarating and fast-paced musical extravaganza. Catherine coached the choir, while Cobweb's Artistic Director, Andy Jackson worked with the orchestra to pull off this exciting and very successful day.
