24 March 2024, 10am – 5pm at Llangynidr Village Hall.
Dennis Simons will be leading this one-day workshop for full orchestra. This event is open to members and non-members alike. Previous events have proved very popular and draw players from far afield. Places are limited so be sure to book yours soon.
Taking Part
You can download the application form and email to workshop@abergavennysymph.org.uk or post to the address shown on the form. We can take payment by BACS or cheque.
Location
The workshop takes place in Llangynidr Village Hall, a few miles from Crickhowell. You can find directions here.
Refreshments
We will be providing tea, coffee, squash and biscuits for the breaks, and we can also provide lunches as long as you order them in advance on your application form.
Music
Music will of course be provided on the day, but you can download some of it in advance from the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) website if you want to have a look beforehand.
These versions are the IMSLP string parts reformatted as double-sided A3. If you have access to a printer that can handle this (copy/print machines in libraries can often do this) then you can print directly onto A3 and fold into a booklet.
