Music Festivals for Bella Tromba

We are currently in the run up to a summer crammed with Music Festivals, as you can see by our concert listing, we have Newbury coming up very soon and Deal following swiftly behind. We have had several lengthy rehearsals over the past few weeks on new pieces for these two festivals, works such as; Pagnini Variations, an Original work by Koper and great opening entitled Regina Delle Vittorie.

We are off to have a coaching session with Bob Farley this week. We feel it is important as a group to get regular sessions with other musicians, helping us to collate an overview of our rehearsal result and often gain different interpretations of various pieces we are working on.

I am looking forward to the Deal festival as Alison Balsom will be playing the evening concert and the group are planning to stay for the day. Alison is performing a few pieces which I will be performing later on in the year at an Arts Festival in Derby, especially looking forward to hearing her play the Neruda Concerto and the “Siete Canciones Populares Espanolas” by Manuel de Falla. I already have my Spanish dress for my performance in September, I’ll post more details nearer the time!
