I have a comment or general enquiry about the orchestra

Dear orchestras

Apologies for contacting you in this way, but my MD (Michael Nebe) recommended your orchestra and suggested certain of your players might be interested in doing a little extra playing on a one-off concert trip. We would appreciate it if you would forward this information to your trumpet, tuba and percussion players.

At the Whitehall Orchestra we are still in need of some additional players for our mini-tour to Istanbul (see info paragraph below), and ideally we would like to do this using players from the UK rather than having to find players in Turkey. If you know anyone who might be interested (colleagues, friends, more able pupils, etc.), please forward this message to them.

We are looking for:
- 1 or 2 more trumpets
- 1 tuba
- more percussion players, including 1 timpani player

We do also have room for more violas and cellos, should anyone be interested.

Thanks,
Carla Finesilver
Whitehall Orchestra


Whitehall Orchestra Istanbul Concert - Saturday 11th July 2009
The Whitehall Orchestra has been asked to perform a concert in Istanbul with the pianist Idil Biret on Saturday 11th July. The concert is to be hosted and organised by a Turkish concert production company, Hakan Erdogan Productions. The repertoire will include the  Tchiakovsky Piano Concerto and the 1812 overture. This is a very exciting opportunity for the orchestra and, as the production company is paying for the hotel for two nights, a fantastic chance to have a short holiday as well.
If you wish to join us to play in the concert, then please do the following :
- Send an email to Jen Lloyd at jenzie_lloyd@yahoo.co.uk to confirm your interest
- After this, you would need to book your own flight to Istanbul. The majority of the orchestra  is travelling on a British Airways flight leaving Heathrow on Friday 10th July at 10.30am and returning at 17.30 from Istanbul on Monday 13th July. If you have a large instrument, you would need to arrange to transport it by talking to the airline with whom you would be flying. Smaller instruments such as violins and violas can be taken on as hand luggage. EasyJet also fly to IStanbul
- The concert production company will be paying for hotel rooms for orchestra players on the Friday and Saturday nights only. If you wish to stay longer in Istanbul at the same hotel, you would need to tell us so that we can organise additional nights with the production company.

Thanks

Jen Lloyd and Ben Smith
