Every instrument has its own society or association and the harp has at least two that players can become a member of. Today I was with the Clarinet & Saxophone Society who meet quarterly to discuss the magazine, events and the general running and progress of the society. The societies are important as they provide all sorts of benefits for members such as services, playdays and events, support for communities in remote areas and magazines and journals with useful information and articles. Members include professional, student and amateur players. I met up with Viv early this morning and we got the train down together. Viv is conducting the Long Winded group at the Clueless in Competition and she is also the conductor of Cambridge Wind Band who will be performing in the second half. I took the opportunity to interview Viv about the band and that interview will appear on tomorrow's blog!
It was a long day so only a little harp practise managed and even then it wasn't proper practise, just playing through of two pieces. Still it was enjoyable and I'll get back onto it tomorrow.
