Hello list members, I don't mean to exclude people, but this message is most relevant to horn players in the New York City area. As part of the "Mass Appeal" category of the Make Music New York Festival on June 21st (Fête de la Musique, for our friends across the pond), Mark Taylor is organizing a horn group called French Horn Nation. Info about the festival can be found at http://blog.makemusicny.org/tag/mass-appeal/ (or at http://www.fetedelamusique.culture.fr/site-2010/?page_id=90 for said friends across the pond!).
Below is a note from Mark with some details about the horn performances. If you'd like to join us to play some music and for a fun horn hang, just let Mark know at [email protected]. Hope to see you there! Linda _________________________ Linda Blacken [email protected] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hey gang, I know I’ve probably hit you all up on Facebook about this, but I thought it’d be a good idea to do an email just in case someone wanted to come, but wasn’t as obsessed with Facebook as I seem to be, these days. Anyway, MMNY 2010 is almost here. As usual, the date is June 21st which is a Monday this year. We have been invited to do two sets this year. The first is at 1pm at Madison Square Park (Broadway and E23rd St) and the second is in DUMBO at 6:30 at the Manhattan Bridge Archway. I’m working on an exact address for the Archway, but it’s in the massive footing at the Brooklyn end of the Manhattan bridge. We have lots of new charts to read, and I’m hoping that some of us will feel up to having a little read-through session sometime before the 21st. Maybe at the Union. No pressure to make it and don’t feel like you shouldn’t come play if you can’t /don’t want to do the read-through. It’s just so we’ll have an idea how these charts go BEFORE we hit! All you really need to do is show up on the 21st with a Horn and a stand (and maybe bring a couple of hornplaying friends?) ready to have fun. Lastly (for now), I’ve thrown up a design for a simple French Horn Nation T-shirt, should anyone want to get it. Again, no pressure to wear anything in particular (though everyone should probably wear SOMETHING) to the gigs. You can find the shirt at http://www.zazzle.com/mmny_french_horn_nation_tshirt-235719254311220679?rf=238682047736794738 . More news to come as we work out the read-through, etc. Stay tuned!
