overtures from Fanny and Louise I'm organising a Cowley Orchestra Feature Evening for next week where we will focus on: Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn): Overture in C major, H265 (1832) Louise Farrenc: Overture No. 1 Op. 23 (1834) Conductor: Elsa Vass-de-Zomba That's happening Wednesday 18.3. at 7pm (play will start around 7:15) at the Oxford Academy, Sandy Lane West, Littlemore. As always, all players of orchestral instruments welcome. We have borrowed a complete professional set and score of the Farrenc, so can accommodate any number of players on that. For the Hensel I printed the score and one copy of each part, so if anybody is bringing in several players with the same instrument, (we could do with eg half a dozen violinists!) please do let me know so I can print more copies. Or print your own from HenselPushers. I've also created a facebook event for those using facebook to share. Videos of professional performances: Hensel Farrenc

Fanny & Louise has a ring to it, doesn't it? Coming up on Wednesday, all orchestral instruments welcome. proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/03/overtures-from-f... #amateurOrchestra #Oxford #Cowley #Littlemore #FannyHensel #LouiseFarrenc

Wusstet ihr, das einige Kompositionen von Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy eigentlich von seiner Schwester Fanny Hensel kommen?

Sagt euch der Name der Komponistin #FannyHensel etwas?
Den meisten leider nicht, genau wie die anderen weiblichen Komponistinnen
