Aims and Objectives of 'Let's Make Music'. To make it possible for amateur musicians to share orchestral music making with many nationalities in interesting and beautiful places. To experience different music and styles of music making and where possible to improve their own standard of playing. Professional conductors and where appropriate, section leaders are engaged. Music is chosen by the conductor to include as much work as possible for the Brass section and reflecting the music of the country that we are visiting.. Venues are chosen that are easily accessible using the ever growing number of 'budget' airlines. Accommodation is basic but good. Prices are kept low to enable musicians on low incomes to take part as well as those who wish to travel a long distance. Each time there should be a proportion of 'new faces'. |
