Adderbury Arts Association is running a Rehearsal Orchestra in Oxfordshire. AAA will be taking a short(ish) piece (or movement), practises it during an afternoon, and then “performs” it to ourselves and any friends, family, onlookers. All over in an afternoon. It is a good opportunity to share interesting repertoire, to study it, meet like-minded musicians, and then to play a work through as if in a concert. It has turned out to be popular, congenial, and we have attained a good standard
