Hi East Dulwich


I'm a composer and conductor from Bristol recently moved to the area.

I'm currently working with the LMA Orchestra based in central London -

I used to run a small mixed ensemble back in Bristol -


What I'd like to do is get together a relaxed bunch of local / semi-local musicians and work on performing some new work by local and young composers in and around the local area - Churches, Pubs, etc...


I intend to seek out approachable music, that is not too hard to play... I can also get composers to make alterations to works to suit our group.


It would be awesome...! We could probably strike up a relationship with a pub or similar to have a regular 'live' rehearsal somewhere, on a quiet night... also in my experience, an ensemble like that will often get invited to other (community) arts events, and will get invited to work with local students, etcetera... which is all quite good fun.


Get in touch if you have an instrument, can read a little music, and think you could spare one night every two weeks for a get together.


ta!

AcedOut - you're on!


Ive had a few PMs about this, quite a good response, but we need more to make it worthwhile!!


So consider this a note of quiet encouragement.


I should emphasise that we'll be able to cater for all levels of reading and playing, so dont be shy.

A fair amount of contemporary composition is graphic and/or improvised anyway, and minimalism is trending at the mo, so its not going to be too much of a challenge to start with.


I put Classically Trained mainly in reference to reading music, but untrained musicians are more than welcome as are non-classical instruments.


Get in touch people!!! We can do something important, rewarding, and fun.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
