Thierings play in orchestra

Former primary school principal and Killcare resident Mr Ian Thiering will be among many performing as part of "Ooh La La" at the Central Coast Leagues Club on May 15, as part of the Gosford Philharmonia Orchestra.

Music has been a large part of Mr Thiering's life, from church and school choirs of his high school years and then at Teachers College.

As a primary school principal in many NSW towns and Norfolk Island, Mr Thiering promoted school choirs and eisteddfods as part of the daily program and taught a variety of music from combined school festivals, madrigals, quartets and Gilbert and Sullivan.

Mr Thiering and his wife Jeannette came to the Central Coast in 1991.

Ms Thiering formerly was a math teacher and returned to playing the violin when they settled in the local area.

Ms Thiering now plays with friends in small chamber group.

The pair will now join forces with the Central Coast Symphony Orchestra, the Central Coast Concert Band and the Gosford City Brass Band for the upcoming concert.

The Gosford Rotary Club will sponsor this concert, on Sunday, May 15, at 2pm in the Central Coast Leagues Club.
