Rehearsals start at 19:45 and usually finish at 21:45 with a 10-15 minute break in the middle. Tea, coffee, and biscuits are available in the break - bring your own mug! We have a reputation for being friendly and relaxed, but we perform to very high standards for a non-professional orchestra so we're ideally looking for players who want to make a regular weekly commitment to rehearsals
Vacant positions can be found on the homepage
Even if your instrument is not listed in our vacant positions it is worth reaching out if you're interested in playing with us; we often need extra players for specific concerts.
For string players we do not specify a minimum playing standard, but if you are Grade 7 or above with orchestral experience, you will probably find yourself comfortable in the orchestra. Violinists should be willing and able to play either first or second violin parts.
