The 12th session of the Haydn Symphonies project will be held at Newbiggin on Lune village hall (near Tebay) on Saturday 20 July 2019 from 11.00 am until 4.00 pm. with a shared lunch. We have now looked at 61 symphonies and in this session I am hoping to look at the following symphonies – 42, 52. 55 (The Schoolmaster), 66, 67 and 68. These symphonies are scored for the usual strings, oboes and horns but from now on we also to see bassoons with independent parts as regular instruments in the orchestra so it would be great if some of our bassoon players could join us (the 13th session which will be held in October sees flutes become regular instruments in the orchestra!). There are no no trumpets or timps in these symphonies but as usual flutes and clarinets are welcome to join us to cover other parts and oboe parts transposed for Bb clarinets will be available. The preparation of parts for this project is time consuming and it would be appreciated if enrolment forms could be returned as soon as possible to know how many parts are needed and to give time to fill any holes we may have in the orchestra. Please don’t forget a music stand and feel free to join us in a shared lunch.

Cobweb Musical Picnic – a note from Andy & Christine
Most Cobwebs groups are now finished for the summer, but at Tyneside (Summerhill) we still have one more session to go! Next week Wednesday 17th July at 1 pm. Come along if you’re already experiencing withdrawal symptoms, or if you want to get a head start on rehearsing pieces for the picnic, or if you just want to play! We have a wonderful orchestra signed up for the Musical Picnic at Summerhill Pavilion on Sunday 28th July, but we could squeeze in a couple more upper strings if anybody is still interested. If you can’t, or don’t want to play, but have a couple of hours free at teatime, why not bring along a snack and listen to some glorious music. Please note that parking is limited at Summerhill, best to take public transport if you can or car share. Hope to see you there!
