The first cohort of a Hitchin strings foundation, set up in memory of Dorothy Wells, has held a concert to celebrate the hard work of students during the first year.
The Dorothy Wells Strings Foundation was set up after Dorothy left a legacy for an organ scholarship - The Dorothy Wells Organ Foundation, which launched at the town's St Mary's Church in 2016 - and a strings project, which launched in November last year.
The group showed off the skills they have learnt during the first year at a special concert at Benslow Music Trust.
The 12 children, aged between three and six years, presented a 30-minute programme to an audience of parents, friends and invited guests.
Lesley Ward, the daughter of the late Dorothy Wells, was present at the concert.
