Double Reed Day
With Anthony Robson
Sunday 13th May 2012 | 9.30-6.00 | St Faith's School
All oboe and bassoon players from grade 3 to diploma level are invited to join Fellow of the Royal College of Music, Anthony Robson as he hosts a very special day of double reed music making. Anthony is committed to working with the next generation of double reed players and with his wealth of experience and passion this is sure to be a memorable day. You will play in ensembles of differing abilities and instrumentation plus share the enjoyment of all playing together the Royal Fireworks Music by Handel complete with horns, trumpets and timpani.
Anthony will present concerts talking about his historical instruments and will be joined by top professionals and local musicians including Philip Turbett (Professor of bassoon at Trinity College of Music, London), Graham Dolby and Jenny Sewell.
We are delighted to invite Daniel Bangham from Wood, Wind & Reed to show and talk about his experience with the BBC television programme Scrapheap Orchestra bringing with him the oboes and bassoons that he made from scrap, that were played at the Human Planet Prom at the Albert Hall. There will be an end of day concert for family and friends.
