Hi everyone,
I sent through the big info on our Music Discovery Day a
couple of weeks ago. As the event has so many elements to it I'm using
this space to invite ALL MUSICIANS and all people who are interested in
CREATIVE MUSIC MAKING - some activities do not even require to play an
instrument :-)
Check for full info here, download the flyer from here, or ask anything else here. Last but note
least: the LGO ticket hotline - please
pass on to all your friends and collegues who play music!
Workshops 4.15pm:
1) Make a musical instruments from
RECYCLED MATERIALS:
Invent your own
or follow the instructions from the leader, and after the instrument is
crafted, you will be playing music with the whole group. This is a fun
workshop, no musical skills or experience is needed, it is for the
whole family. You could collect items and materials from your recycled
bin (pots, boxes, containers, coloured paper, foil...) or use ours. You
also could bring along sturdy scissors, so you don't have to share
ours.
?5/con. ?3/ kids
?2.50
2) Make a Wind
instrument from CARROTS AND PARSNIPS
One of the
highlights of this day - you won't find anything similar again so
quickly :-).
We will supply the vegetables, you need to bring your mouth piece (we
have a few simple ones). It works best for brass and reeded
instruments. After making your new music gadget, you will aim to play
together - you might imagine the challenge as carrots are not grown to
measure ! And the sound, well, will be an undescribable surprise...
This is only from 13 years onwards, and all minors need to have an
adult as powerdrills are used.
?7/conc. ?5
Jam Sessions 4.45pm - FREE:
Discovery Jam Session:
This is another
novelty occasion, that is great fun, but often not permitted at home!
Glass bottles, filled with water may play the first violin, whilst your
egg slicer replaces the guitar and the small saucepan + lid the
drumkit. Bring anything you fancy exploring to play - no potential
dangerous objects please... Great fun for any age...
Free admission -
there will be a busket for voluntary donations :-)
Traditional
Jam Session:
For all
instruments and levels. We will have a few leading jammers and some sheet
music. However, the idea is making music together. You may bring a
piece, where others play along and put in your suggestion. Styles could
be anothing from international folk, ethnic, jazz, classic (have you
ever jammed over Vivaldi's 4 seasons? I did !!!) to improvisation to
avantgarde, this entirely depends on who is joining...
Free admission -
there will be a busket for voluntary donations :-)
I'm looking forward so much to this day, as it is slighly different
from our usual events!
