What we’re about
This is a musical playing experience for anyone interested in playing music with Eclectic Concert programs and a wide ranging repertoire from Baroque through Classical , Romantic and through to the present day. From collaborative small groups to our Ensemble and the New Horizons String Orchestra we have projects that give a New and exciting creative drive to String playing.
Projects from Solo Recitals, duets, trios, Quartets and through too our main Ensemble and beyond , come and explore what it is like to play without a conductor or a committee but freely and creatively becoming the musician you wish to be. For example -- Leader ?, Soloist etc -- there is no barrier to progress , just the general acceptance that you can perform to an audience that will fully appreciate what you play ! In All our Concerts we have soloists from within the group and occasionally in addition a guest soloist. Non are paid and all members contribute to the costs of the Hall ( which has an excellent acoustic).
Part of our Sessions are about making great collaborative projects happen but also about building Performances that make Audiences of All ages happy.
CCM does at least 5-6 Concerts in a year and 2 or 3 Recitals.
There is a great social atmosphere and time given to a communicative freedom. Time to talk and discuss with fellow musicians about building the Performing experience.
we consider that those musicians who have exceeded grade 8 ABRSM or have equivalent equivalent musical experience, will benefit most from our various groups and Performances. However there are many who wish to rebuild their playing expertise and regain creativity in their life. Or those who are experienced enough to immerse themselves in our much wider string playing repertoire.
Currently we are particularly looking for new members for our New Horizons String Orchestra, and are looking at Joiners coming to 1 complete session during the period middle of September -- until 1st Weeks of October. As well as violinists, violas and cellists and Bass Players we will require at least 2 Lead violinists -- as our programs are so diverse that this is best for the leader and for our Ensemble or String Orchestra.
