Hi East Dulwich


I'm a composer and conductor from Bristol recently moved to the area.

I'm currently working with the LMA Orchestra based in central London -

I used to run a small mixed ensemble back in Bristol -


What I'd like to do is get together a relaxed bunch of local / semi-local musicians and work on performing some new work by local and young composers in and around the local area - Churches, Pubs, etc...


I intend to seek out approachable music, that is not too hard to play... I can also get composers to make alterations to works to suit our group.


It would be awesome...! We could probably strike up a relationship with a pub or similar to have a regular 'live' rehearsal somewhere, on a quiet night... also in my experience, an ensemble like that will often get invited to other (community) arts events, and will get invited to work with local students, etcetera... which is all quite good fun.


Get in touch if you have an instrument, can read a little music, and think you could spare one night every two weeks for a get together.


ta!

AcedOut - you're on!


Ive had a few PMs about this, quite a good response, but we need more to make it worthwhile!!


So consider this a note of quiet encouragement.


I should emphasise that we'll be able to cater for all levels of reading and playing, so dont be shy.

A fair amount of contemporary composition is graphic and/or improvised anyway, and minimalism is trending at the mo, so its not going to be too much of a challenge to start with.


I put Classically Trained mainly in reference to reading music, but untrained musicians are more than welcome as are non-classical instruments.


Get in touch people!!! We can do something important, rewarding, and fun.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
