Orchestra manager message for members – 28th July 2023

Hello All,

I hope this message finds everyone well.

This update includes the V2 of the new season schedule and includes two important additions.

1) Extra rehearsal on Wednesday 4th October for the John Williams concert

Claus has asked that given the amount of music in this concert that we have an extra rehearsal. This has been booked in at LGS.

The music for this concert will be with us by mid August. Once everything is confirmed, we will then send out an audio track as we did for the R&H concert so that everyone can listen to the music in concert order. There will also be the individual music pads as before.

2) Rehearsal revision and programme confirmed for the LGS concert on Sunday 5th November

Following discussions with John Barker at LGS, we have agreed to have an all day Tutti rehearsal on 29th October instead of one on Monday 30th. 

Given the music repertoire this makes far more sense but also is in line with our usual rehearsal format.

The updated schedule also now includes the programme for the LGS concert. This is a really prestigious event to launch the fundraising for the main St Nicholas Hall upgrade to a fully equipped concert Hall.

John Barker has also put a letter together to be sent to ourselves explaining the ideas behind the Hall upgrade. This is attached.

2023/24 Season Subs Reminder

£50 Subs for the new season are due on 1st August. This is to paid by Standing Order please. If payment is not made this way, the Subs are £75. This is as agreed at the 2022 AGM. If you have any problems paying then do please contact our Treasurer Claire Cowan
