The East Rand Youth Orchestra played for a picnic gathering in Benoni Small Holdings on Saturday (May 21). The group began playing at 4pm until 5.30pm with a short break between for listeners to get their light meals. The crowd who were sitting on the grass and at tables listening to the music being played using several instruments, were intrigued by the music and harmony displayed by the group.
