The European Doctors Orchestra is pleased to announceEuropean Doctors Orchestra - LONDON CONCERT Concert November 9th 2008 - 3pm Duke's Hall Festival Overture - Shostakovitch Conductor - Rupert Bond Rehearsal Schedule We are keeping to our usual rehearsal schedule but are going to try out a new venue for Friday and Saturday so we can all stay together. We hope this will be a socially successful event as well as a musical triumph! We have reserved rooms at the Lensbury Club which is set in 25 acres of beautiful grounds and gardens on the banks of the River Thames at Teddington Lock, conveniently located for London (30 min from Waterloo by train), Gatwick and Heathrow airports and the M25. We have negotiated the member's rate for rooms ( £50 single; £71 double or twin standard room - there are also more expensive rooms/suites) which is less than London hotel rates. I hope you will all (including you who live in London) come and stay and bring husbands, wives and children to the weekend to join in the social events and come to the concert on Sunday afternoon. The Lensbury has gardens down to the river ( although it is November!) and has a swimming pool, spa, tennis, golf and play areas for young and older children - as well as restaurants and bars. It is a short (10 min) walk from Teddington station (there is a shuttle bus). REHEARSALS will be ten minutes walk away at the Langdon Down Centre - Dr John Langdon Down described a group of mental patients with mongolian features in 1866 - Mongolian idiots were reclassified as 'Down's syndrome' in 1965. The old Victorian theatre in his pioneering Normansfield asylum has been refurbished and we can rehearse there - there are breakout rooms for sectional rehearsals. While the musicians rehearse others can visit Richmond on Thames, Kingston, Kew gardens or Hampton Court Palace and Gardens, all within 15 minutes by taxi or bus. Check out the websites |
