Something worth looking at (no - not THIS blog)

Just a short post to point out a a couple of sites worth looking at if you're a brass player (or a musician even !). The first is the web site of Ryan Anthony, sometime trumpeter with the Center City brass quintet and Canadian Brass. It's a fairly standard "artists web" with biog, schedules, discography etc. etc. but worth a look if just for for the "For Brass Players/Educators" pages. The other site is the site of Jay Friedman, principal trombone with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1964 (Yes, thats over 40 years). The "Articles" page is his monthly column and contains writing on a whole host of interesing topics.

Oh, and our brief stint at the Pindrop Club went down quite well.

... with no direction home ...

Just posting to try and get some momentum going on this blog. As usual we have the usual suspects lined up for our small number of Christmas concerts this year. Tomorrow night might be a little different however, and not too sure what to expect as we're contributing to a concert by the pindrop club which will be new to me although some of the consort have had dealings with them before. But all in all a fairly quiet end to a muted year (and that's harmon not wah-wah)


However, our 21st Birthday approaches (sometime in February) and St. George's on the 6th of May 2006 has been booked for our celebratory bash. We are now starting to work on the program for this concert and hope to include some exciting (and big) pieces from the brass repetoire.

And who said procrastination can wait until tomorrow?

OK, duff title, but how else can you creep back in to a blog that's been silent for just over a year?


Well, what have we been up to this last year?

Not a lot.

What about our 20th anniversary year?

It's just a number (shrug shoulders).

And next year?

It's our 21st Coming of Age Anniversary !!! Yippee !!!

For now, just come back in a few days and perhaps the style will have settled down a bit.
