This meeting will be our annual Christmas Concert.

At 2pm the guitar orchestra will have a practise play through the program

They will be playing the following pieces:

  1. Pavane – Mille Ducas
  2. Gaillarde
  3. Ronde
  4. Meridian
  5. Baby Elephant walk
  6. Milonga del Angel
  7. Lacrimae

It would be great if all members of the group could be there on time so we can get through this practise promptly. Remember your music, and a music stand. Remember to do a bit of practise before hand. Remember what group you are in.

 

Then at 2.30 the Christmas concert will begin.

Please, please, please …. Ask friends and family along to what can be a very enjoyable musical afternoon.

The orchestra will play first and will take about 25 minutes.

Then we will have items from members.

We have a few items booked in so far. But it would be great to have more. The simplest of pieces can be very enjoyable for others to hear. Let a committee member know if you wish to play something.

During the afternoon we will also have a Christmas afternoon tea. If you can bring a small food contribution, that would be super!

Guitar Competition.

The first national guitar competition in a long time was held on the weekend of 5th to 7th of December.

This started with a well attended concert given by outstanding Australian guitarist, Tim Cain. For myself I really enjoyed the diverse and accessible program of music that he presented.

 Society Fees

To offer our monthly meetings and to promote the activity of the society we need some funds. For example the room must be hired for each meeting. We have purchased a domain name for our web site. We need to pay for printing of music and promotional materials.  It would be great if each person interested in the society could also support it by paying the membership fees.

They  are as follows (for 2015)

$5 – Casual

$25 – Students

$30 – Family (2 adults and 2 children)

$40 Adults

If you wish to pay fees please give these to the host for the evening or another committee member.
