An estimated crowd of 170 locals and visitors gathered to be serenaded with classical music as the sun set at the official opening of Cobar’s unique Sound Chapel on Saturday.

Pictured at the opening are: Top right, locals Shae Martin, Sue Harpley and Marie Lawrence; middle The Noise String Quartet performing; and bottom, Sydney visitors artist Rod Holdaway, Jennie McLean and composer Alan Holley.
