Full Version: Help - Harmonium player near Oxford?
Invision Power Board > Mander Organs > General discussion

I need to find a harmonium player, if possible, for a performance of Rossini's Petite Messe in Oxford on Sunday 27th June. Can anyone help or suggest someone? Otherwise we will just have to fall back on someone with no previous harmonium experience.

Sorry for the short notice...

Hi

Pity Oxford is so far away - and, for obvious reasons, Sundays are difficult!

You could try contacting Phil Fluke at the Reed Organ Museum in Saltaire - PM me if you need his phone number. Since he runs a Harmonium hire business, he'll probably know who might be available.

Every Blessing

Tried that - I'm already using his harmonium (from your previous recommendation)!

Thanks anyway.

Anne Page is in Cambridge! Hiss!

What about Clive Driskill-Smith. He's stayed in Christchurch a few times with a noted owner of a harmonium so probably knows his way around one pretty well. There's John Brennan or Julian Littlewood or Mark Purcell. They're the only ones on the OXRECS list I know well enough to recommend.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Our problem is now resolved.
