Future concert dates
2010 dates are 15 May and 20 November. Patrons' Evening is on 20 March. If you weren't at rehearsal last week, please note that we decided not to do the Sport Relief Mile event at Oakmeeds School the following day.
May concert
We started rehearsals again after the Christmas break on 20 January. The programme looks excellent: I'm looking forward to tackling it.
Coffee rota is here. Rehearsal schedule has been uploaded as a PDF document and as a spreadsheet. Our intention is to keep this up to date if any changes are required. (I know, the relentless forces of progress ...)
November concert
The programme for November will be:
- Sullivan - Pirates of Penzance Overture
- Saint Saens - Organ Symphony
- Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition
Musical opportunities
From time to time I'm contacted with suggestions for musical courses, holidays, etc., which you might enjoy. I shall try to put them all up on this page.
Chamber music courses in the Swiss Alps: http://www.klausen-resort.ch/de/musikwochen.html.
The latest Making Music Highnotes magazine is available online.
