Joining the Orchestra

The
Training Orchestra provides an exciting opportunity for young and new musicians to take their first steps into ensemble performance. The music selection less complex and more appropriately themed for newer musicians. The Training Orchestra rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6PM to 7PM. This includes 15 minutes of combined rehearsal every week with the Senior Orchestra. This gives our younger musicians the chance to watch, learn and listen to the more experienced players, and further develops their ensemble playing skills.
The
Senior Orchestra caters for more experienced players and covers music which can be much more challenging but rewarding. The Senior Orchestra rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6.45PM to 8.15PM.
If you (or your children) play an orchestral instrument, we are always looking for new members and would love to have them join with us. Please
contact us for more information.
Fees for 2019 are $300/year, with an Early Bird rate valid until 17 March, and a 10% sibling discount where 2 or more members of the same family choose to join at the same time.
Fees contribute to the cost of running the orchestra including rehearsal venue hire, public liability, volunteers and equipment insurance, cost of musical scores, as well as conductor and musical director fees and fees for special guest tutors.
