Thanks for listening, or rather persisting. We suffered from various technical problems, mostly Tim misfiling CDs, for which we apologise. Musically we were very excited by the program and are sorry it didn’t proceed as smoothly as hoped.

Next Friday, 9 November, we’ll be playing trios, in all their glory. Stay tuned…

GUESTS


Last Friday, October 26 we were joined by Shoel Stadlen of SPNM and composer and Music Orbit founder Colin Riley to discuss recent projects. Many thanks for coming in.

This Friday, November 2, we will be examining music in numbered parts, looking particularly at the orchesterstücke of the second Viennese school. We hope you'll be joining us.

I've also just noticed a number of comments on our blog concerning old programmes and other trivia. I tried to respond without success, so do please get in touch with either of us, at our emails above.
