The national youth orchestra have had to cancel their concert tomorrow. Instead they are encouraging instrumentalists to join them at 5pm 17th April on their doorsteps to all play the Ode to Joy.

Simple music is available from their website https://www.nyo.org.uk/ode-to-joy

I can do this! I can sing, or I can play ain instrumental part on the tenor recorder!

Of course, it will be frowned upon buy the brexit fuckers who dominate in my constituency...

Viola would be mocked by other instrumentalists, being the equivalent of Irish jokes.

Yep, trying to decide between a subtle treble recorder or transposing for Eb Brass and blasting it out.
