I copy and paste this article from my little blog page:
I took some time this year to consider what it was I would really like to do within the music community and pondering what was important and what was less important.
I feel that I have achieved in the pop and rock genre all that I can as an arranger of abc files. I may still add a song or two to the collection as the urge grabs me but I feel it’s time for a change in direction.
Yes The Ninny’s will still play, no I do not want to make my fellow Ninny’s feel as if they must attend out of loyalty and just because the lot of them are good eggs.
So if we gather on Saturdays at 2pm EST and play that’s great, if not that’s great too. We can open mic or just not play for a week.
As I come around to aquainting myself with the Main Buggins again I feel strongly that as a community the Music people can do fantastic things. With this thought in mind I am starting a new project, open to all in game to join in as musicians and to those who are up to a challenge to bring along a little (or large) something to play.
With the sprit of community in the fore front of my mind I wish to commence with my Eriador Philharmonic Orchestral Project.
The defination of Philharmonic is: 1. Devoted to or appreciative of music.
And yes this is a classical music focused group.
My aim is to find a location to call home, in a starter area. Then to invite others and arrange classical musical pieces to play in practice as well as in Quarterly Concerts.
There is no criteria to have your arrangements played, but we do look to make the best possible interpretations of the genre as possible. Looking at 8-14+parts
I am looking to schedule our first concert on April the 8th at 2pm, Location TBA.
Our theme for Spring 2017 is Water/Sea/Lakes/
Our Theme for Summer 2017 is Landscape.
So far I have five arrangers plus myself with something to contribute. We would welcome others, as well as musicians who wish to help play. You don’t have to be a kin member or a server member to join in. It is to be noted that we will be based on Landroval but there is nothing to hinder us playing our music on any other server.
