Back by popular demand! Join Mark Edwards in developing what we learnt in the first go at Elgar Symphony No.2 last year, or come along and discover what a fantastic work it is. We need a big big orchestra to have another go at this one! This time, we’ll split the day up and run sectionals, so players can have a real chance to get to know the work in more depth and feel comfortable with it. Patrick Burnett from York will be joining Mark and leading a sectional, so it’s really great opportunity to get to grips with it in more detail. So many of you told us that you really enjoyed the day last time, so please do spread the word and encourage anyone to join us. The day will be made up as follows:
10-12.30pm – Morning sectionals
12.30 – 1.30pm – Shared lunch
1.30-4pm – Afternoon tutti rehearsal (with a break)
4.30-5.30pm – Informal play through
