Today (Thurs 15 November 2012) marks the launch of Southern
Sinfonia’s Newbury Older Musician of the Year competition.
Funded by Greenham Common Community Trust, this fun event
provides the opportunity for duos, trios and quartets, as well as soloists, to showcase
their lifelong passion for music – supported by friends and family.
It’s open
to everyone over 60 on or before 1st September 2013, living within a 60 mile
radius of Newbury Town Hall and not a professional musician.
There will be first and second prizes of £1500 and £750, as
well as the opportunity for the winner(s) to play with the orchestra at a
future concert if the individuals would like to (however it’s not a condition
of winning!!!).
Our last winner of the Newbury Older Musician of the Year,
Mike Thomson (pictured above), had a wonderful time performing with us in St Nicolas
Church, Newbury at our Classical and
Romantic concert. We now need to find his successor(s)! So to be in for a chance
of winning, register your interest with Anita by Thursday 13
December 2012.
Call now on 01635 580035 or visit our website for more information.
