Film Music Day with Bill Connor CANCELLED

Unfortunately, the event planned for Saturday 12 October has had to be CANCELLED due to an unprecedented low numbers of string players.

To help us shape future programmes, please let us know why you were unable to come to the event on Saturday. Please go to the form here.

Answers can be anonymous, and are welcome from all players, not just strings. We are keen to put on events that are what people want, but we need your help and feedback to do that!

Join Peter Gulbis for a Cobweb performance as part of Middlesbrough Town Hall’s Classical Cafe series.
Cobweb Billingham welcomes players on all instruments to join us for this event!

We have a 2-hour rehearsal, with the performance following on once the audience has assembled. It is a fine opportunity to ‘showcase’ the Cobweb movement!
The 1-hour programme is deliberately audience-friendly and varied, and readily ‘learnable’ by players joining us on the day. ‘Selection from South Pacific’ is centre stage, with movements from Handel, Mozart, Sullivan, Holst and Lloyd-Webber. A trio of carol arrangements (Hobbs/Kirby) start and finish the performance.
