SACS is exceptionally fortunate to own a beautiful Steinway Model D Concert
Grand which is kept in pristine condition by Garth Hammer of
Ian Burgess-Simpson
Pianos.
A wonderfully supportive audience encouraged the performers. An email
received the morning after reads as follows:
Dear John,
A magnificent success. You and Greta deserve the highest congratulations. I
think you achieved something which no other school in the country has done. I
hope you manage to keep it going. Your headmaster must be very proud!
Best wishes,
Peter
