overtures from Fanny and Louise

I'm organising a Cowley Orchestra Feature Evening for next week where we will focus on:

Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn): Overture in C major, H265 (1832)

Louise Farrenc: Overture No. 1 Op. 23 (1834)

Conductor: Elsa Vass-de-Zomba

That's happening Wednesday 18.3. at 7pm (play will start around 7:15) at the Oxford Academy, Sandy Lane West, Littlemore.

As always, all players of orchestral instruments welcome.

We have borrowed a complete professional set and score of the Farrenc, so can accommodate any number of players on that. For the Hensel I printed the score and one copy of each part, so if anybody is bringing in several players with the same instrument, (we could do with eg half a dozen violinists!) please do let me know so I can print more copies. Or print your own from HenselPushers.

I've also created a facebook event for those using facebook to share.
