SCORES of classical music fans enjoyed two rousing concerts at the weekend.
A Promenade for Youth and A Last Night of the Proms at the Dolphin Centre in Darlington attracted performers and audiences from throughout the region.
Youngsters including The Darlington Youth Band and The Egglescliffe School Orchestra took to the stage on Friday night at the youth event.
In total 120 young people performed in the warm-up concert to the main event on the Saturday night.
A packed audience joined in the fun at A Last Night of the Proms with renditions of Pomp and Circumstance and Rule Britannia.
Both events, organised by Music for Darlington, were supported by The Northern Echo and the winner of the newspaper's Young Soprano of the Year competition, Sanaz Lavasani, performed at Saturday's gala.
All the money raised from the two events will be donated to St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington, Darlington and District Age Concern, Darlington Mind and The Corps of Army Music Trust.
