the duo’s performance at the Dundas Centre for the Performing Arts, on March 1, 2008. The Nassau Music Society joined with sponsors S. G. Hambros, Royal Fidelity Merchant Bank and Trust, Pictet Bank and Trust, Ltd., and Royal Star Assurance to enable international musical
artists to perform in The Bahamas, benefiting not only the general public, but also the Society’s Scholarship Programme. The Fund will generate one scholarship worth $7,500 a year for a student, over a four-year period. Applications are available at the Lyford Cay Foundation or its website and the deadline is March 31, 2008. (Photo Eric Rose)
