October 2011 Concert
Rehearsals for the October 2011 concert start this Friday, 9th September.Usual rehearsal venue is St Nicholas Church Hall, Summer Road, Thames Ditton
KT7 0QQ (5 minutes walk from Thames Ditton station) unless otherwise indicated.
Rehearsals are from 19:30 (for 19:45 start) to 22:00.
If arriving by train, then the train leaving Waterloo at 19:06 and arriving at Thames Ditton at 19:39 is just about acceptable (it will take you 5½ minutes at a brisk walk).
Note that the post code is located on the wrong side of Summer Road — and we are in the Church Hall, not the Church.
Scroll to the bottom of this page for a picture; Thames Ditton station is bottom left, Church Hall is under the Alto Clef near the top right.
Coming from the station, you should go down Speer Road, then turn right into Church Walk, and keep left when you get to Ashley Road after 50 yards.
Turn left when you get to Church Lane.
If driving, approach from the Summer Road side; there is a car park in front of the hall.
Please send an email to kpoadmin@gmail.com
if you can't make a rehearsal.
Note that rehearsals for the next concert on 29th October begin on Friday 9th Sepember, and continue without a break until the concert.
The programme is on the home page; the rehearsal schedule will be anounced on a weekly basis, and posted here.
Dates for the rest of the year, so far as we know them, are also on the home page.
Links to music for the current concert
Here are some links to music which can be downloaded
There are also some live scores which can be viewed with Sibelius Scorch. For instructions on installing this, see the next section. If anybody knows of any others, let me know.Viewing the live scores with Sibelius Scorch
Sibelius scorch is a browser plugin which lets you view a live full score, with the (synthesised) music alongside; you can choose your tempo, pause, resume, and fast backward and forward. Ideal for discovering how your tricky bits fit in with the rest of the orchestra!
To see an example of Scorch in action on YouTube, visit Th?y Tiên - Mu?n Màng
To see how to install Scorch, see oySongs.com
or Sibelius Scorch Install IE8
For further information, see What is Sibelius Scorch?
You can get the download from the Sibelius web site.
You will be asked for your name and email address; don't click the "relevant special offers" box unless you want to be inundated!
Notes for the computer-obsessed (or cognoscenti)
If you downloaded Scorch in Internet Explorer (as in the two videos above), you may have seen on the screen that it is a "DirectX version only". This is of no interest unless you also use Firefox or Google Chrome as well. You will then need to install again in (only) one of Chrome or Firefox, to view in Chrome and Firefox.In other words, there are two versions; one for IE, and one for the rest of the world. So what's new?
Enjoy
