We are very happy to introduce Mark Steele as our new Musical Director. Mark is a seasoned Tuba player and conductor and is great addition to our Eclectica family. We are looking forward to working with him.

Mark says “I have been made extremely welcome by the group. It is great to be making music with people from across the city. The mix of instruments and abilities make this ensemble a unique challenge but with the commitment to rehearsals has made Monday evenings a joy”. Mark seems to like us too!

Every year we choose a charity to receive the monies raised from our concerts. We are very happy to announce that this year we will be raising money for Coventry based charity Embrace.

Embrace was set up by two Christian women in response to the emotional pain they witnessed amongst groups of vulnerable women in Coventry.

Please donate generously.

This was a lunchtime concert at the Methodist Central Hall in Coventry, on November 11:

We played some music from films (Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney melody), some classical (Beethoven, Schumann) and some Latin (samba and Spanish):

The audience enjoyed listening, and we enjoyed playing.
