I do hope everyone is keeping dry given what I can currently hear crashing down on the conservatory roof! And on that subject, thank you to everyone who braved similar conditions on Monday night to come along to the String sectional with Adam. It was an excellent turnout.
I just wanted to top and tail the details again for the rehearsal this coming Sunday.
Main Hall, Leicester Grammar School
10am-1pm, 2-5pm
10-11.15am Ortiz
11.15-11.30am Break
11.30am-12.00 Ortiz
12.00-1pm Brahms
Lunch
2-3.15pm Brahms
3.15-3.30pm Break
3.30pm-5pm Dvorak
Also, see below some indications from Lydia Shelley of certain passages in the Cello Concerto that has been forwarded to me via Natalia. Please have a look with your parts. What is also very useful is to have bar numbers in the Concerto parts. I believe one set does and one doesn’t. It would be good to get that sorted on Sunday.
TICKETS
I also wanted to again highlight the 15% discount deal we have for buying tickets for all 4 concerts. There has been a very encouraging take up and if you know anyone who comes along please make sure they know about the deal.
Single concerts also have our usual £2 off full price ticket deal with code BARDI2425.
Many thanks
Robert
