Joining Aeolian Sinfonia of North London
If you're thinking of joining us, please get in touch beforehand,
so that we can make sure that there's a set of music for you, and
so that we can make you aware of our COVID precautions.
We always have vacancies for string players and horns,
and the approximate minimum standard is grade 6.
We're usually covered for trumpets and timpani for concerts, but
occasionally need deps. Depending on the music we're playing,
we sometimes need larger brass instruments - trombones and tuba.
An extra percussion player can also sometimes be useful.
Our woodwind section is full, but we sometimes need deps and we
can put you on our dep list or waiting list.
Rehearsals are on Thursdays, 7.45-9.30pm at :
Don Bosco Hall
Our Lady Help of Christians Church
Falkland Road (near the corner of Lady Margaret Road)
London NW5 2XT (map).
Don Bosco Hall is in the Parish Centre, just round the corner from the
church, in Falkland Road. The entrance is through a black iron gate.
The door should be locked. Please ring the bell marked 'Nursery'
and someone will come and let you in.
Please try to arrive at 7.30pm or just after, so that we can set up and start playing
promptly at 7.45pm.
