Or have you taken up playing an instrument in adult life just for fun? Do you like playing orchestral music? Were you once a member of the school recorder group? If the answer is YES to any of these questions then come to our Blow the Dust off your Instrument Ensembles Day. \nThis playing day will give you the chance to renew old skills or put new-found ones into practice in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The principal conductors will be Angela Kay\, Chris McDouall\, Gill Henshaw\, Phil Smith and Kerry Lovell. The instrumental parts will be sent out in advance of the course\, to give you time to get to grips with the notes ahead of the day itself. \nString Orchestra\nThe music chosen gives scope to players of a wide range of abilities and experience. This year there will be the opportunity to perform a Handel Concerto Grosso and by contrast\, a foot-tapping Beach Boys Medley and all the best tunes from the film score of Shakespeare in Love. \nWind Band\, Flute Choir\, Swing Band\, Clarinet Choir\nAll wind players will play in the wind band during the morning then break into smaller ensembles for part of the afternoon. \nRecorder Ensemble\nA chance to remember back to childhood\, or perhaps more recently! The recorder group will meet during the afternoon session. \nPlease note\nAll instruments except recorders – this course is not suitable for players of a standard below Associated Board Grade 2.\nRecorders – players are expected to be able to read music and play a compass of an octave and a half. \nOutline Timetable \nSaturday 11 June 2016\nAlbert Hall\, North Circus Street\, Nottingham NG1 5AA \n9.40am      Registration opens (NB Recorder registration at 1.30pm)\n10.00am    Morning sessions (to include coffee break)\n12.30pm    Meal Break\n1.30pm      Afternoon sessions (to include coffee break)\n1.30pm      Recorder register (1.45pm rehearsals)\n2.30pm     Afternoon sessions (to include coffee break)\n4.30pm     Break\n4.45pm     Informal concert for friends and family\n5.45pm     End of course \nWheelchair access available.
