#MfEMonday – 29th July 2024

Summer School: Excitement is building at MfE as we approach our Summer School beginning on 5th August with music loosely based around the Paris Olympics!

Light the torch in the symphony orchestra with extracts from Stravinsky’s Firebird, explore the city streets in Ellerby’s Paris sketches for wind band and discover Hymne au soleil by Lili Boulanger with the chamber choir. The strings will leap into the athletic world of Vivaldi’s Overture to L’Olimpiade and the saxophones will take on a ‘jazzy’ challenge.

Unfortunately, the brass group Quartet Menine have had to cancel. However, we are delighted to announce that the brass quintet ‘Heron Brass’ will be attending to give a recital and brass workshop. 

Formed while studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Heron Brass have gained recognition as recent finalists in the Philip Jones International Brass Ensemble competition. They enjoy exploring new or lesser-performed works for brass and choral arrangements, without forgetting some of the established classics of the repertoire.  We can’t wait to see them in action!

 

There are still places for brass, bassoon, viola, tenors and basses.  If you are interested in joining us, please click here.

Bring your friends along to the Showcase Concert for a musical treat on Wednesday 7th August at 5.20pm, Trent College, Long Eaton. Tickets are £5 and include drinks and nibbles! Available here.


 

Have you been watching the Olympics this weekend? The Opening Ceremony took place in Paris on Friday evening, showcasing a variety of music.

  • Bookwise in Nottingham has been having quite a makeover recently with new shutters, easier ramp access and a paint refresh! We are just waiting for the new signage on the shop front to finish the look. Watch this space…

 

Have a great week!

Your friends at MfE
