St. Hilda's Church Hall, Thornleigh Road, Jesmond, Newcastle; 10.30am - 12.30pm Following the successful workshop for cellists in March, as part of the Making Music Sound Project, the orchestra is holding a further workshop at the above venue for young musicians, again featuring the soloist in our current concert (details below). In the concert Edward Cross, who also leads the orchestra, will be playing Bach's Concerto in A Minor. Edward is a former leader of Newcastle University's symphony orchestra and regularly performs with the Durham Sinfonia, Newcastle Sinfonietta and the New Century Ragtime Orchestra. His main teaching base is the Music Centre in Heaton. He is to perform Schumann's Violin Concerto with the Yetholm Sinfonia in Kelso on 11 October. If you know of any young violinists Grade 6 (or good Grade 5) or above who would like to work on a piece with Edward Cross could you let me have the names and addresses by 5 July. They would need to bring their own accompanist. Edward and Roger Crowther from the orchestra have CRB clearance for working with young people and the orchestra's work with young people is governed by our Child Protection Policy, a copy of which is available on request.
