Our Orchestra Membership
We are a happy bunch of musicians who enjoy making music in a Big Band ensemble.
Our Community Orchestra is open to musicians of all ages who are keen to play great music, and the only way to improve is to come along regularly.
It’s advisable for new comers to be grade 3-5 ability. Guitarists should be able to follow a chord sheet and drummers need to be able to read drum notation, although not all percussionists need to be readers.
