well.. well.. well..

Looks like our concert today will truly look like a winter concert. At 2pm today in the ballroom of Harbour Towers at 461 Bank St, New London, the New London Community Orchestra will hold this season's concert including pieces from Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach, and Satie.

We are an ensemble of mixed backgrounds and musical experiences. Although every member did not study music during their secondary education, we all share a love and passion for music. Our member's vary in age from high school and young adult, to wise adults. Many members had not touched an instrument in years but it can be very much like riding a bike, one never forgets. With some practice and encouragement from our wonderful conductor, Joan Winters, we have shaped into an entertaining chamber ensemble who's goals include not only to captivate our audience, but also to bring music lessons to the children of New London.

Join us today for our concert at Harbour Towers. But please, drive carefully through this New England winter wonderland.

Just a reminder

Just wanted to remind anyone or inform anyone who does not already know, this Sunday at 2pm in New London at the Harbour Towers Ballroom (4th floor) there will be a concert held by the New London Community Orchestra.

Our program includes:

I would love to provide you with some program notes, but today is the SOPA strike and many websites are blacked out and my textbook has not yet arrived in the mail. So if you will forgive me, I hope to be able to provide you with some added information soon.

What I can provide is more information on the concert specifically.
