Thursday 21st June, 8pm, St John's college chapel.

Borodin - Polovtsian Dances
Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto (soloist: [livejournal.com profile] deborah_c)
Schumann - Symphony No. 3

Tickets on the door or pre-order from tickets@ucpo.org.uk ; I think they're eight pounds at the door or seven pounds by email.

I'm playing first oboe, which has quite a lot of fun exposed bits; I'm not quite sure whether I'll be the only first oboe, so am practicing slightly frantically.

Congratulations! That's really exciting, good luck! I hope you have a great time but I'm sure it will be fantastic. Would love to see you but can't make it I'm afraid but hope it goes well :)

I had no idea you were a member of a symphony orchestra.

Because of the university, Cambridge has half a dozen symphony orchestras; the one I'm in doesn't require auditions or tell people that they're not wanted because there are already five oboists, so it's somewhere on the bottom rung of symphony orchestras.

But it makes a decently merry noise and we enjoy playing together.

(the other first oboe has finished his exams and taken over the solo in the Tchaikovsky which I never quite managed to hit, so that's a little more tranquility)
