We were scheduled to perform for Cambridge Early Music on 18 November 2020, including an appearance from the young student group we’ve been working with, #Roots Baroque Orchestra. This all had to be postponed due to Lockdown 2, but we’re delighted to have been able to move activities online. Working digitally presents many challenges, but one of the huge advantages is that students from further afield can sign up, who might not have been able to travel to a rehearsal in person. We’ve expanded our group, so that whilst the majority of students are part of our project partner Cambridgeshire Music, we’ve also been able to welcome students from all over the South East. We’re working on Christmas repertoire, including (naturally!) the Pastorale from Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, ready for a digital performance around Christmas. We hope to continue into the Spring term, with a mix of digital and face-to-face sessions, leading to a live concert in March 2021.
