Performance NotesThis season sees the return of the Royal Albert Hall Amateur Orchestral Society to the Royal Albert Hall. (Probably because of the return of the Duke of Edinburgh to his place in the orchestra after an almost two year absence overseas).

Funds were raised for churches in Kensington, which were led by Rev. E Ker Gray, who was also a member of the orchestra.
