Calling all
Wind Players in Leicestershire & surrounding
areas!
2nd Wind is the fast growing
wind ensemble for adults of all ages & abilities who
wish to rediscover the fun of playing their
instruments again or maybe wish to start learning.
Who? Players of all
woodwind & brass instruments, percussion and bass
players are welcome regardless of current ability &
age who wish to develop their playing skills
in a friendly environment under the guidance of the
highly respected musician Brian Humpherson (MBE).
Many of us used to enjoying
playing in instruments in our school or college days
only to find that work, family or lack of
opportunities to play in a group, band or orchestra
prevented us going any further. Other members have
always wished to learn to play and are discovering
that playing as part of a larger group is a great
way to develop their skills and is much more fun
than sitting alone at home practicing.
Our current members represent a
very wide age range from their late teens
through to those enjoying their retirement years,
all with a common love of music and the desire to
develop their playing abilities.
Assistance with loan
instruments, hire or purchase may be possible.
Where? Rehersals take place at the
Richard Attenborough Centre (part of Leicester
University Campus) situated on Lancaster Road opposite Regent College,
a short walk away from De Montfort Hall and 10
minutes' walk from Leicester railway station. We are
near to London Road (A6) and Welford Road (A50), the
main road routes through Leicester. Please note the location postcode is LE1 7HA.
When? Wednesday evenings:
Time: 7.00p.m. to 9.00p.m.
What Do We Play? A wide
range of works for wind & brass ensembles from
traditional band & classical pieces to jazz &
popular music tailored to suit all abilities so if
those more demanding twiddly bits are a bit daunting
at first - don't worry - just play what your capable
of and you'll soon get the hang of it.
How Much? Subs work out
at about £5.00 per week to cover hall hire, music &
incurred expenses.
Concerts: We aim to
perform public concerts at least once a term.
