Dear All Next week’s rehearsal Tuesday 2nd May will be back at CHRISTCHURCH not Tower House. We’ve decided to switch next Tuesday’s rehearsal back to Christchurch. We’ll have another trial session at Tower House in the Autumn term but on the run up to our concert thought it would be best to rehearse in the more familiar venue where we will be…… Read more →

Morning all Last night was the two-thirds mark of our practice timetable. We were in an different venue, with acoustics that many of you found unhelpful. We had the pleasure of Anne-Marie Owens joining us. My plan was to spend a chunk of time going through the remainder of the big movement Von deiner gut, and then run through stuff…… Read more →

We have learned almost all of the music for the summer concert, which is a huge chunk of notes, and we are in good shape to hone and finesse the program to performance standard. Thank you for all your hard work, sitting in a…… Read more →

Dear all Over the Easter break you will hear more from me with ideas for how to keep things current while we are on our break, but for now – brilliant rehearsal this evening. Here we are, half way through the process of working towards the summer concert, and you are sounding so good. Still lots to tidy up and…… Read more →
