...I'm looking at two possibles for the rest of 2009...

Fri 6th Nov, Tchaikovsky piano concerto no. 1 (Denis Matsuev as soloist), Verdi's Force of Destiny overture, Dvorak symphony no. 9. London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Festival Hall

Wed 9th Dec, the Syd Lawrence Orchestra play Christmas classics and Glenn Miller, Cadogan Hall

If people are interested in either of these two concerts, let me know by the end of next week (11th Sept), and I'll get tickets

I like the sound of the first one, but I don't think my piggy bank can stretch to another trip and my thesis can't either.

That's a pity

I'll put a load of other gigs up through 2010, and if you can make any of them, you'll be most welcome Flossie

Does anyone fancy seeing Lang Lang in concert on Friday 21st May '10 at the Albert Hall?

Yes!

Oboe d'amore is hoping to buy tickets over this coming weekend DC, I can add you to the list if you like

Yes please. Thanks.

Consider yourself added!

Thank you..I'm seeing Daniel Barenboim in Jan/Feb, and now (hopefully!) Lang Lang. A good way to start the new year!

Any more people wish to come to either of these two concerts?

...just booked three tickets for this - still loads of seats left (£15, £18, £22), if anyone else wants to come, just drop me an email/PM and I'll sort you out with tickets.

The Syd Lawrence Orchestra are performing at Cromer Pier on the 27th September (where I work)

Car Expert

Absolutely. Count both myself and my mom in

Lois

If you get to hear any of it, do let me know how it goes CE!

Is it too late for me to come ?

I think we should be able to fit you in. I'll talk to oboe d'amore in the morning, and we'll endeavour to sort out a ticket for you near/next to us (I don't know exactly where in the auditorium she's got the tickets).

I'll probably be working in the box office that day anyway until the show starts. Seats are pretty much all booked up as well, so it's proving to be very popular up here

Car Expert

That's good to hear : hope you do manage to hear some of their music CE : they are rather good

Thanks Barry

Hi DC, can you tell me the details of the Daniel Barenboim concert... would love to go to that..

thanks a millions PG

Hi PG..the concert is at the Southbank Centre, London on 31st Jan/1st Feb next year. You need to ring them very very soon as they were almost sold out when I got my tickets back in March. Hope you have some luck!

Thanks for that... checked the south bank website and the Emperor is sold out but there seems to be availability for the others...

Will get on the phone tomorrow and book... I think I'll make a weekend of it and see 2 and 4 as well on the Monday...

Can't wait!

Great! That'll be three Forumites there if you can get tickets! (Pianissimole, myself and you!)

Fingers crossed for you.

there is an interesting looking Mendelssohn on at the weekend also...
Maybe the three of us meet for interval drink..

Hope so!

Thanks for coming everyone, and thanks for getting the tickets oboe d'amore A good concert, and a good evening with good friends

Thank you very much everyone, I also had a nice time. 1st Flute was really nice, wasn't it?
And I practiced Cor Anglais Saturday afternoon before forget beautiful sounds we heard in the concert - But I realized how much air I need to blow to make "farely good" sounds....
I need 50 times more practice.

At last, thank you very much for looking after my daughter - although she missed ALL symphony, she had a great evening, she said!

Hope to see you soon (Some are in Jan?)
Good luck for 5 Dec. I am sorry I can't make it. I have my orchestra's concert.... I will make next time!

The flautist was great, yes. I'm sure you'll be playing the cor solo in the 2nd movement of the Dvorak before you know it...



- enjoyed meeting her again! Tell her she's very good at picking chocolate cakes!



Thanks oboe d'amore - I don't know what other concerts you have beforehand, but I'll definitely see you at Shea's playday in January!
