We meet at the Polish Hall, 22 New Town Road, New Town, Tasmania. You can enter off New Town Road using parking in Archer St, or enter off the rear entrance to the Hall in Clare St. There are plenty of parking spaces there.
Be there by 7pm to allow for seating, tuning, and preparations to begin playing at 7:15 pm. There is a 15 minute break in the middle of rehearsal, we will resume play and rehearsal generally finishes at 9:30 pm.
You will need your instrument, of course, and music will be made available as part of your membership. Please bring a pencil and rubber for adding changes and dynamics to the music as we build on it.
New players are encouraged to come along, especially for violin and viola sections.
Once again, we have a repertoire lined up for 2024! Conductor Kim Bishop has arranged a great selection of pieces for us to rehearse. The concert in December 2023 was amazing and here comes the next mid year concert!
