ENROL HERE
Hi, I’m Steve Messam and for those that I haven’t met, I play French Horn wherever I can. I really enjoyed taking part in the first Virtual Cobweb Orchestra and I’ve since done a few ‘ensemble’ videos of my own. There’s still nothing better than playing music with a bunch of musicians, but in the meantime it’s still nice to play your part in these big group efforts and share that effort with a potentially worldwide audience.So we’re now taking enrolments for a 5 minute orchestral arrangement of Allegri’s Miserere.
It is intended to be very different from the previous lighthearted performances. Your contribution will, however, be the same as before; recording a video of yourself playing your part (following a click track and a film of Andy Jackson conducting), then sending it to Steve for editing as soon as possible.
It would be good to have a really full string orchestra for this recording, so please offer your services if you are interested, regardless of whether you took part in the previous performances or not. We need a wind and brass section too, and places will be allocated on a strictly “first come” basis, so please enrol soon by clicking the link here
Cobweb Virtual Concert Party
Saturday 1st August, 7pm
After such an overwhelmingly successful concert last weekend, we have decided to run another concert on Saturday 1st August. We already have a few participants who would like to perform but we have spaces for one or two more performers.
If you’re interested, please sign up using the enrolment form here.
As ever, we’d love to see as many of you as possible there as audience members. Your support last time was fantastic, and I think we can do even better! Please use the enrolment form here to select ‘audience’ and you’ll receive an invite to a Zoom meeting the day before the concert.
More details to follow once the line-up is finalised!

A note from Andy:
“Thanks for your wonderful response to the idea of resurrecting the Guinea Pig Orchestra to try out venues and procedures when we are allowed to play together.
Please keep enrolling for this by clicking here. We have no idea when the experiment might be mounted, but open air performances began last weekend, so the day might not be far off when we can again be an orchestra of some sort.“
