The second meeting took place on 13 September 2021 and it was good to be back in person. The sessions have a quite different style now as we are now working around the screen on the wall and linking the sound through our speakers. Initially, there were some technical issues connected with the laptop but once this was changed, we could continue.
It was a member’s choice evening and demonstrated a wide not to say eclectic choice of pieces. The programme was:
- Rimsky-Korsakov arr. Lindberg: Concerto in Bb for trombone
(Christian Lindberg (Trombone), Tapiola Sinfonietta, Osmo Vänskä)
