BACK AT LAST !!

After a far longer hiatus than anyone envisaged in March 2020, we cautiously started  rehearsing again.  What a joy!  Due to cautious social distancing we started back with separate Rehearsals for Strings and Wind and Brass.  We tried to make the best of it, choosing separate repertoire that we wouldn't normally address when everyone is available.

The Strings have enjoyed playing the Capriol Suite, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and particularly the Elgar "Serenade for Strings".   The Wind and Brass have started tackling Serenades by Mozart, Dvorak and Richard Strauss, plus an arrangement of Brahms "St Anthony Variations". 

One gratifying fact is that we are getting expressions of interest from players enquiring about joining us.  We want to encourage this - even if people feel somewhat rusty, there's nothing like playing regularly for that to improve. 

​THE CONCERT THAT NEVER WAS !

We never got there ! Only two weeks beforehand, Coronavirus caused a cessation of almost all activities in March 2020.
We have some Souvenirs - that's all we have! 
A couple of large banners that were due to be displayed in New Milton will remind us !
