We are always keen to welcome new members to the orchestra! You should be of Grade 5 standard, or equivalent, and able to commit to attending rehearsals. We generally have vacancies for strings, lower brass and percussion. If you are interested, please contact us for an update.
We don’t ask for a formal audition. Instead, if we have a vacancy we’ll suggest you come for a trial period. If we don’t currently have a potential place for you we will be happy to hold your details on file if you wish. We’re happy to welcome minors joining the orchestra but request that the applicant lets us know if they are under 18 when they apply.
Current membership fees are £150 per year for adults, payable in one or two instalments, and £50 per annum for students.
We are very aware that some people may have difficulty paying full subs and are anxious not to exclude anyone on these grounds. If payment of your subs is a problem we can be flexible, so please do not hesitate to have a personal word with the Treasurer on joining the organisation.
