Performers' Group
(Birnam)
We are aware that a number of you would like the
opportunity to work on perfecting some pieces with a
view to performing. This is not practicable
within the context of our standard 'one-off'
workshop programme - hence Performers' Group, a
series of 6 workshops aimed at producing a programme
for Perform in Perth, a stable core for Festive
Fa-la-la and some small ensembles for events where
space is limited.
When and where?
Sundays 28th October, 4th November, 18th November,
9th December, 27th January and 24th February
2 - 4pm Birnam Arts Centre,
Station Road, Birnam, PH8 0DS
£75 for all 6 workshops (payable at the first
session)
Because of the potential range of
instruments/standards, advance booking is essential
- please contact us by
Tuesday 23rd October if you would like to take part.

It is not essential to be
able to participate in the above events to
be part of the Performers' Group.
Provided you keep us informed, we can plan
accoringly. |
Instruments and Standard
Orchestral woodwind, saxophones and brass.
Please be aware that, for the sake of balance, we
may have to limit the numbers of certain instruments
- in particular, saxophones and brass.
Players should be a minimum of around Grade 3
standard (no upper limit).
Attendance
Given the nature of the group, commitment is
important. However, it is not essential to
attend all 6 rehearsals - so don't be put off
signing up if you know you have to miss one, or even
two.
Performers' Group effectively replaces most woodwind
and saxophone/brass workshops in Birnam for the
Autumn term. It may be possible for players to
take part in a single Performers' Group rehearsal -
however, this would e at our discretion and would be
more expensive than a standard workshop!
(Perth, Callander and Crieff workshops remain as
before.) |
