28-29 October 2017
Back in June, when Rosa decided we should do an impromptu open air choir recital in Lefkas town, it turned out that two choir enthusiasts from the north Greece town of Kastoria happened to be passing, and were impressed. So they invited us to perform at an 'Ochi Day' charity concert in their town.
Kastoria is quite a tourist attraction, a pretty old town situated on the neck of a promontory in a large lake. Our invitation included free accommodation and an evening meal, and husbands/partners were included if they wished to come. So 12 choristers, 4 partners and Rosa piled into a minibus early on Saturday morning, and we went off to see a bit more of Greece.

A first look at the theatre where we will perform, and time for a quick warm-up and practice.
