#Today, May 14, #Oxford's unique #Cowley #Orchestra is doing a special feature evening again. This time the focus is on Louise #Farrenc's 3rd symphony in G minor. We will be supported by a few people who have played this work at a one-day workshop last year. All players of orchestral instruments welcome, participation free of charge for this once. #violins especially welcome as we're often short of those. Here's the piece, played by a different orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6MaC53l6p4

6/6 pieces we played at #Cowley #Orchestra last Wednesday: Alexander #Borodin Prince Igor Polovtsian Dances. Borodin was obviously very important because he was both a chemist and a composer. We had a go at the Prince Igor dances before running out of time - may help to study the dance video to get a feeling for the spirit of the piece.
