It was a great pleasure for our Members and invited guests, Musos, to enjoy Peter Frances Williams reflections on his 57 years in Hawkes Bay.
We were treated to a magnificent review of his roles as “Mr. Classical Music Hawkes Bay” and his significant contribution to the Arts.
This was a warm and interesting personal insight over his 57 years which will long be remembered and appreciated by his attentive audience.
