Firstly apologies, as I may have asked this before but not sure where and I can't locate the thread....
After enjoying today's playday in York I've been thinking and I think I'd like to attend a similar style event aimed at more advanced players over the next 12 months or so. It'd be good to push myself a bit and I also enjoy a serious sight reading workout .... What would you recommend?..... It would have to be a one off event ..... not clash with any of my band commitments (usually Sundays in the Summer months) .... be "up North" - i.e. within an easy day trip distance from the East Yorks area. Thanks in advance for any replies. |

Are you after things that are for clarinets only, Dawn? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Louise is right : it's for all woodwinds, and should all being well be happening again at the end of January/beginning of February (depending on when Shea can get the RNCM). Well, well worth a visit : I'll be there again in 2012. The CASS playday this year is on 27th November in Liverpool, but that seems quite an epic journey, the only other things I can immediately think of are Darlington Clarinets, which have a playday each May (this year's was yesterday), and events that the Yorkshire based Chinook Clarinet Quartet put on (but their website was last updated in July 2010...). |

QUOTE(Flossie @ May 21 2011, 10:29 PM) No - just anything that can include clarinets. Sorry I wasn't being very clear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) Orchestral, wind band, clarinet choir, single reed event etc etc .... would all be ok. |

The one-off things they do looking at particular symphonies etc might suit you and you don't need to be a member of one of the rehersal groups to go to these. They use the proper music, rather than simplified versions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Obviously the beginners events wouldn't suit you, but you should be able to tell which is which. |

Thanks for the recommendations ....
If anyone spots something suitable please post here to give me a bit of a push ... All too easy to get swallowed up in the world of kids commitments but I am entitled to a day or so to do something for me. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
