A North-East youth orchestra will be returning a favour to a fellow group from Switzerland, which provided them with accommodation while on a European tour last summer.

Young Sinfonia, the younger version of Newcastle Northern Sinfonia, stayed with their counterparts from the Schwyz Youth Orchestra, in the mountains overlooking Lake Lucerne.

Now, Young Sinfonia has invited the Schwyz youngsters to stay with their families when they visit England later this week.

The Swiss orchestra will play one free concert, at All Saints' Church, on Newcastle's Quayside, on Monday, at 7.30pm.
