Many of the Evening proceedings focused on the ensemble throughout his career which I was a student in one form or another of his for almost a decade of them.

One of the highlights were a few videos they played between muscial numbers of television news clips regarding the ensemble and its various events yes the one from 87 was most embarassing!
one Video was from Performances at the various venues:
