| July | The
orchestra is re-formed in July when George Reynolds holds auditions for both established
and new players. Setting the tone for the year ahead, these auditions help the
Musical Director to see how best to deploy the musicians and to plan the repertoire
and tuition for the year. |
| Auditions
| Auditions
consist of two contrasting pieces of the players choice and a piece of sight reading.
|
| Weekend
Workshops | After
the auditions there are 2 separate workshops in September and then again during
the October half term. In addition to rehearsing, expert tuition is provided by
sectional specialists. The players always enjoy the course, making good friends
while working together, which results in a very happy orchestra. The first concert
is usually an informal one held on the last day of the second workshop.
|
| Rehearsals
| Rehearsals
are then held one Sunday every other month, usually in Nayland. We try to have
regular public performances on the alternate months. |
| Venues
| CYCO
has recently played at such venues as The Moot Hall, Colchester; St.Peters Church,
Sudbury and St James Church, Nayland. CYCO also regularly appears at the Charter
Hall, Colchester, accompanying the Colchester Choral Society during the 'Carols
for All' concert at Christmas. |
