The Orchestra provides players of all ages with the opportunity to play in a concert orchestra and to develope their musical skills. We have a wide range of ages from early teens to retired, the Orchestra members, who are a social group of people, are always pleased to welcome new members of reasonable competence who are interested in improving their playing. In addition to the music making the members of the orchestra hold social events during the year including a summer barbeque and a Christmas social evening to which members and their families are welcomed.
If you are interested in becoming a playing member or simply want to know more about us please contact Brenda Ellis, concert manager brendajellis@yahoo.co.uk or 01255 223455
