‘Categories’ will display events that are specifically participation, performance, or residential.

We appreciate it if players sign up to events in advance to make sure we have enough space and music for everyone, but don’t worry when there isn’t an enrolment form, as they will be made available nearer to the event.

We have an excellent car-sharing scheme in place. If you need a lift to an event, or if you have space in your car and would be happy to share your journey with another Cobwebber, please indicate this on the enrolment form. Not only does this make travelling more enjoyable, it also reduces the cost of fuel and keeps cars off the road!

Sedbergh Residential @ Sedbergh School
Apr 11 @ 4:00 pm – Apr 13 @ 5:00 pm
11TH – 13TH APRIL
This will be the 17th Sedbergh Residential Weekend. It is the Cobweb Orchestra’s biggest event of the year. Traditionally, it is full of orchestral playing but people still find time to eat, socialise and squeeze in the odd bit of ensemble playing but we’ll see what Mark brings to the weekend!

Here is what Mark has to say “I’m really looking forward to this year’s Sedbergh Residential and exploring the theme of ‘Tales, Myths and Legends’. The repertoire i’m considering at the moment include: The Water Goblin – Dvorak, Danse Macabre – Saint-Saëns, The Snow Maiden Suite – Rimsky-Korsakov  and maybe even  Til Eulenspeigel – Strauss (!) We’ll be enjoying the Sedbergh normalities of the Midnight Choir, Concert Party and opportunities for chamber music. It’d be great to have you there! .”

Mark is already working on the repertoire & timetable and we expect there to be a mix of leaders and special guests to ensure we get the most out of his chosen pieces.

Accommodation at Sedbergh is in one of the boarding houses with plenty of single or shared rooms available. You can choose to be a resident with all meals provided or a non-resident with some or no meals.
