Dear Members,
The committee has planned the next round of society meetings through to the end of the 2022/23 season. We have tried to respond, as far as possible, to a range of useful suggestions and requests from members. This has led to the development of several themes to be used in some of the meetings. Here are the dates and themes:
Sunday 8th January 2023 – Regular members’ meeting
Sunday 5th February – “Easy” music day with everybody concentrating on presenting a polished performance of up to Grade 3 pieces
Sunday 5th March – Regular members’ meeting
Sunday 2nd April – An impromptu ensemble of simple pieces to include all members
Saturday 22nd April – Performance at the Ards Guitar Festival – (provisional at this stage, see below)
Sunday 7th May – Derry or Causeway coast meeting
Sunday 4th June – AGM followed by a members’ recital
Sunday 25th June or Sunday 2nd July – BBQ
Message from Ards Guitar Festival:
Provisional dates 19-23 April 2023. Hoping to have 2 classical events this year –
- Aquarelle Guitar Quartet
- CGSNI and Manus Noble. Aiming for an early evening event at the Arts Centre with Manus on Saturday 22nd
Also, there may be an opportunity to perform at the Belfast City Hospital Spring Festival, usually held in May, but no details are available as yet.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year!
Chairman
