Newent Orchestral Society
Celebrating 70 years of music making, 1940-2010

Diary Dates     

Here's a useful list of both regular and individual events
worth noting in your diary:

Strings Clinic: for orchestra string players (members only), there will be a "clinic" after rehearsal on Saturday, 27 March.  Given by maker and repairer, Phil Harding, this will be an oppotunity to seek advice on all aspects of maintaining your instrument in good order.

Spring Concert: will be the "Newent Music Heritage Concert", celebrating 70 years of music making in Newent, 7:30 p.m., 15 May, 2010, Memorial Hall, Newent.

Newent Music Heritage Exhibition: at Newent Library from 1 - 22 May; at the Market Hall, 1 - 3 May; at the Memorial Hall, 15 May.  This will include photos, press cuttings, map, memorabilia, music scores and books, archive material and information about our local music heritage.  The exhibition will be focused around composer, Rutland Boughton, record producer, Joe Meek and, of course, our orchestra.  Entry at all venues is free.
