Information
The Orchestra performing at Kent College on January 16th
We are now well on with the preparations for the Spring Concert and the Orchestra has been particularly enjoying working on the Brahms Serenade, an exciting and stimulating piece of music with sufficient challenge to keep us on our toes! The posters and flyers have been produced and copies made available to Orchestra members for local display. Save The Children will be putting in some effort to promote the concert and Andrea Russo, our contact with the organisation, is managing distribution within Canterbury City Centre on the morning of Saturday March 6th and would welcome volunteers from the Orchestra -- the group is meeting at 9.30 in Debenham's coffee shop if you feel like giving a hand.
Caroline Jubber had a fall last weekend and sadly broke her left wrist, so she will be unable to play in the forthcoming concert. We are hoping that Jane Walker will be able to deputise and wish Caroline a speedy recovery.
The programme for 2011 was discussed at a recent Committee Meeting and you will find this information posted on the Future Concerts page of this website.

Next Concert
Saturday March 27th 2010, 7.30 pm
St Peter's Methodist Church, Canterbury CT1 2BE
Our next concert begins with the overture to Mozart's opera buffa Cosi fan tutte, followed by Max Bruch's Violin Concerto; the violin solo in this hugely popular work will be played by Robin Wilson. Brahms' Serenade No.1 in D, originally written for wind and string octet and later expanded for orchestra completes the programme. Tickets are £8.50 for adults and only £2.50 for children of school age and students. They are available on the door, from the Secretary on 01227 751196, and online through WeGotTickets by clicking on the button below..
