Windham Orchestra (Brattleboro, VT) Seeks Musicians!

This really, really sounds like fun; wish I weren't 2500 miles away:

Come Play With Us!
Please share this message with your musician friends!

Please join the Windham Orchestra, under the direction of Hugh Keelan, as it begins its 46th season with an Open Rehearsal at the River Garden on Main Street in downtown Brattleboro on Monday, September 14 at 7:00-9:30 p.m.

We, the players of all backgrounds, abilities and ages, invite musicians to join the orchestra for one evening exploring and rehearsing the Symphonie Fantastique of Berlioz and Mendelssohn’s Fingal's Cave Overture. This NOT an audition, Hugh and the orchestra really want you to play and build an extraordinary and enjoyable experience together, either for this evening, or the upcoming concert cycle, or the whole season.

For the massive sound of the Berlioz, we particularly encourage string players to join us. We are also thrilled to have wind and brass.

We cannot have too many players!  Please tell other musician friends!

Invite friends to come and enjoy a first reading, Hugh promises it will be thrilling.

Please bring your music stand.  If you would like to see the music beforehand it is available on the International Music Score library Project (IMSLP).
