Fanny & Louise has a ring to it, doesn't it? Coming up on Wednesday, all orchestral instruments welcome. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/03/overtures-from-fanny-and-louise.html #amateurOrchestra #Oxford #Cowley #Littlemore #FannyHensel #LouiseFarrenc

#Littlemore seems to have a keen #percussion player there (and an instrument missing in my collection, or can I just bang two random blocks of wood together?)

"The historic Japanese method of Hyōshigi is a basic musical instrument consisting of two pieces of hardwood or bamboo sometimes connected by rope."

#oxford air #pollution: a lot of orange right now, and #Littlemore has turned red: https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#11.42/51.7481/-1.2474

At the top turn right into Littlemore Road which becomes #Cowley Road as it crosses into #Littlemore. At the roundabout turn left into Long Lane, then right through the pedestrian underpass under the Ring Road. TOA has a gate just where this underpass comes out which is always open at the time I arrive - and now we've found a helpful staff member who makes sure that it remains open until we're gone. (previously I had to exit with the cars and go around the school property via Sandy Lane)
