My piano teacher has given me a flyer for the winter concert from her orchestra (in which she plays the viola): St James Orchestra, Paisley. I thought I’d spread the word to any Glasgow residents who might be interested. It takes place this Sunday (25th November, 2007) at St James Church, Underwood Road, Paisley (map here) at 7.30pm.
Details are:
- Dvořák - Cello Concerto (Tom Rathbone cello soloist)
- Beethoven - Overture ‘Coriolan’
- Tchaikovsky - Symphony No 5
Co-Leaders: Fiona Butcher, Christine Love. Condutor is Eric Dunlea.
Tickets are £6, and I gather there are free tea and biscuits.

Hi!
Found your site when investigating the e bay store with a view to selling a few items. Thanks for info about concert, we may go as it’s near where we stay. Wanted to ask you about piano lessons, can you recommend anyone, please?

Hi Maureen,
Hope you’ll be able to go along. I’m very much looking forward to it myself.
My piano teacher and I are in Shawlands, Glasgow, so not sure she’d necessarily be convenient for you, even presuming she has any spare places available. I’ve passed on your details to her, and she may be in touch directly, or may be able to help with putting you in touch with somebody.

Do you know what standard you have to be to play in the St.James Orchestra, where and when they rehearse etc?

Hi Jo,
I don’t know anything about that I’m afraid. I’ve forwarded this on to my piano teacher, who’s a member, and she may be better able to answer your question.
