History of The SLRO
The articles that follow were written by Joan E Wilson in March 2002. It is a delightful account of how the Orchestra formed in the late 70s though to the current day. Thanks must also go to Frances Barendt, Norman Payne, Bernard Duffy and Eileen Tregunna for their help in providing some of the information to her.
