Hi

A small group of us are trying to start up a wind quintet and a (mixed) choir in Leeds.

We're young professionals who graduated last year and have struggled to find decent music groups in Leeds with any room for new players/singers, so we've decided to start up our own groups!

We want the groups to be fun, relaxed and sociable (pub trips after rehearsals a must!) and there will be no auditions. Ideally grade 5 and above (or equivalent) though as we'd like to maintain a reasonable standard! We have experience of running groups at uni and one of us is a music teacher to we reckon we're up to the challenge.

We need wind instruments of any sort, but are especially looking for oboeists and basoonists. We also need singers - male and female, all ranges. And any accompanists (pianists) or conductors would be great as well!

Please reply if you're interested in joining us and please tell anyone else you think might be interested to reply too.[/b]

Oh and we'd like to play/sing all sorts of types of music - jazz, marches, classical, filmscores, musicals, sacred... anything!
