The main work to be looked at will be Sibelius\u2019s 6th symphony. Conducted once again by Jonathan Small, there will be chance to study the music in a relaxed atmosphere with a play-through to round off the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of its quiet qualities and the uncertainty of its key attribution, the Sixth has been described as “the Cinderella of the seven symphonies”.But like the poor sister, its unassuming qualities grow on the listener.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to join us for the day, please complete the application form found here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may take our word for it that this is always a popular event! As in previous years, refreshments will be provided but not lunch. There are shops in the area to buy a sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Jonathan Small knows his stuff musically speaking. Moreover, he is patient, supportive, good-humoured, and magically produces results which satisfy the players. The results certainly amazed this player – I never expected to be able to perform at this level!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
