Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

Amateur Piano Group in South London, 27 Jan 2013

on: August 29, 2012, 08:35:53 AM

The East Dulwich Amateur Music Makers Group is an informal group of South Londoners that meet to listen to each other’s playing. Performing is entirely optional – observers are most welcome. We welcome beginners to advanced level musicians, ages 18+.

The group will next meet at 4pm (time TBC) on 27 January 2013 at The Michael Croft Theatre, Alleyn’s School in East Dulwich. The venue has a wonderful Steinway C grand piano. We welcome instrumentalists and singers as well as ensembles. If you require an accompanist, we have a pianist available on the day at a small extra fee.

Full details are here:

If anyone is interested in playing duets on the day, get in touch as I'm always looking for duet partners
