Musical detours

Under the baton of MD Neil Samuel they will first join the Echo Des Bois concert band in Crans-Montana for a concert in the evening, before enjoying musical detours playing in Zermatt, Sion and La Sage before performing a day time concert in Crans-Montana to help celebrate the National Day of Switzerland.
