I hope you’ve had a lovely ‘half-term’ break – although I’m not sure we know how different that is these days! In the next two weeks, we have 3 amazing events for you to get involved with, I hope to see you there. On that, a quick note from Andy Jackson below:
Back here at Cobweb HQ (a virtual office somewhere between mine and Lorna’s laptops), it’s always lovely to hear from you about how you’re getting on with our online programme. Here are a couple of recent comments:
“Thinking about the benefits of all these Zoom sessions: yes, it isn’t the same as playing together for real, but there is joy in the casualness, in being able to eat supper and then sit down for an hour to enjoy some music, talking about it and playing it, and meeting like-minded people. There are benefits in smashing through something that you haven’t spent hours/weeks practising, just getting the feel of the piece, not quite sight reading but not properly prepared; and having time to talk about the music which we don’t do when we turn up to play in person. I’m enjoying all this, thank you for your inventiveness, and you must have called in a great many favours with all the lovely people we have joined in with or chatted with”.
“I have so much enjoyed the concerts of Alice and the Taliesin Trio and equally Fennella and Daniel Grimshaw. You know, life under lockdown has become very drab. And sudden exposure to the beauty of classical music, so professionally played, is magic, so intense!”
Please keep them coming so that we know whether we’re getting things right or not.
