      I have no idea, except for circuses mercia! Honestly, I am lost on this. Where's Cali, he knows all about Paris. The Girl from Arles is of course Bizet ........ Nope, no idea of any P to link them. Sorry.

          I stay with friends in the street just behind it, when I go to Paris ! But I have no idea about the place ! <doh>

          Turkish wrestling, dressage and fashion shows, says Wiki... Anything relevant there?
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Mercs, as he said he would, has held my hand and guided down the primrose path ...... he is a sheep in wolf's clothing? I think I now know to what he is referring, and it's totally, totally, deliciously obscure Caliban. You'll be loving it!

                Actually, I have my own Wiki. No, don't laugh, please! It's called an Encyclopaedia
                No-one over the age of 25 has ever heard of one of those!
                Edit: I also have the Oxford Dictionary of Music. When I win the Lottery I will get Grove of course.

                  I already am, even though I have no idea at all what it is!

                    apologies, I think I have misled

                    the relevant events only went on for twenty years at that location
                    but as far as I can see, the P still exists
                    beginning to wish I hadn't started this question

                      The Pasdeloup Orchestra still exists.
                      (Sargent painted it rehearsing at the Cirque d'Hiver, where I believe it played Bizet in its early days.)

                        yes, that was my P

                        wikipedia says they premiered the two L'Arlesienne suites
                        and that Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht, one of the Apaches, conducted them 1928-32


                        not a very good question, and I omitted O to boot

                          Is that Sir Malcolm Sargent or John Singer Sargent?

                            Is that Constable after promotion?
