We had an inspiring discussion with Amy Yule on Monday night. Thank you to all of you who took part. Unfortunately, Saturday’s Virtual Concert event is being cancelled due to a lack of performers. Our next concert will be on Saturday 6th March, so please enrol ASAP if you’d like to perform so we can build a great programme.

For the next Musical Book Club, we’ll be revisiting Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture, which we did at the first Bookclub before we worked out how to do it with the right mixture of playing and chatting and using vintage recording instead of Andy singing all the parts!

Cobweb Virtual Orchestra
CVO has completed 5 performances over the last 9 months, and the most recent one “Green Screen Orchestra” has received over 20,000 views on Facebook and some ecstatic feedback such as “Beautiful”, “Pure genius”, “Fabulous” and “Love the cyclist”.
Let’s see if we can continue to keep the critics happy with CVO6, which is being planned right now – more details next week so watch out for those and sign up straight away.
A date for your diary: Monday 1st March.
We’ll be having a great discussion led by Joe Davies called ‘Was Beethoven Irish?’ Watch out next week for the enrolment for this event.
