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've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
