In keeping with our training programme for young apprentices, BNSO sent 5 students to the Suzuki workshop in Florida, held 6th through the 8th, November 2009. In January, Mr. Martin Goldman, president of the SUZUKI violin association of South Florida visited Nassau to discuss future training for our young violinists. He also gave individual lessons and group lessons throughout the week-end.

Members of the orchestra participated in several other Christmas programmes assisting where there was a need for strings and/or other instrumentalists who are well trained to be able to perform with only a couple of rehearsals.
