Ver. 1 – MSO Rehearsal Schedule for Concert on

Saturday 12/11/2011 @ 19:45.

 

This rehearsal schedule may be subject to change! Changes may be due to the attendance of MSO members, the availability of extras/soloists for rehearsals and, of course, our own progress through the rehearsal of the pieces. If any changes are necessary, then I (RJ) will publish a revised schedule and any changes will be shown in Red (indicating changes over the previous version). Please ensure that you have the most current version of the schedule, indicated by the version number shown above and in the document file name. Additionally, on any particular rehearsal, it may be occasionally necessary to rehearse a piece not scheduled for that evening, so please be flexible. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate contacting me. Thanks. RJ.

All rehearsals (unless otherwise stated) will be held at:- Amersham School, Stanley Hill, Amersham, Bucks. HP7 9HH. 01494 726562. Link to map
