Time for a windfall?

windfall, noun

1 an apple or other fruit blown down from a tree or bush by the wind.
2 a large amount of money that is won or received unexpectedly
3 dynamic ensemble of wind instruments, sometimes also including a piano

Mitchell Conservatorium has not gone into greengrocery and has not become a bank, with free samples for everyone, but next month, we do have a windfall for you.

The group members are
Jocelyn Edey-Fazzone (flute)
Teléna Routh (oboe)
Carol Coomber (clarinet)
John Cran (bassoon)
Graham Nichols (french horn)
and
Julia Brimo (piano)

You can expect to hear music from the Baroque and Classical eras, but also music that was written this century. These soundfiles demonstrate the kind of music that the group performs. I wonder if they will play any of those particular pieces for us?

Windfall is coming to Bathurst to perform at Mitchell Conservatorium at 7.30 PM, on Friday, 28th October. And at 10 AM on the following Saturday, they are providing a masterclass for wind players. This is an opportunity to get expert advice, whether you come to perform or listen to others get taken through their paces.

Please contact Mitchell Conservatorium on 6331 6622 or come into our office in the West Wing of the Court House, in Russell St to book tickets for the masterclass and concert.
