2024 Side-by-Side Symphony
Welcome
What’s in a name? You may have noticed The Rusty Orchestra project has had a name change… well it has, and it hasn’t. Side-by-Side Symphony maintains the same values and goals of The Rusty Orchestra: courage, collegiality, fun, challenge; but with a new format.
Instead of rehearsals spread over a few weeks, Side-by-Side Symphony is run like a professional orchestral schedule: an intensive and short rehearsal period followed by a concert. This not only provides a real insight into the professional orchestral experience but also makes it easier for participants, especially from regional areas, to take part. Playing in an orchestra is challenging, exciting, and rewarding and I applaud the amazing participants for their commitment and enthusiasm. Behind the brilliant concert performance is many hours of personal practice and most likely some grappling with nerves!
I would like to sincerely thank the wonderful musicians of WASO for their kind and welcoming nature and their support and encouragement of their Side-by-Side buddies.
I am delighted to be conducting this first Side-by-Side Symphony and consider it a privilege to work with these musicians. So please clap and cheer in abundance as you support all these fantastic people on stage tonight.
