If you play an orchestral instrument and have reached at least Grade 5 or its equivalent, you will be more than welcome to come and join us.We meet on Mondays from 7.30 to 9.30pm in St. Martin's Church Hall, Vicarage Road North, Castleton, Rochdale.
Previous experience of playing in an orchestra is not necessary, though that would obviously be an advantage. But belonging to an orchestra involves teamwork and commitment to a regular rehearsal schedule as well as taking part in well-prepared public concerts. Which probably sounds more daunting than it really is, if you're enjoying the shared experience of music-making in a controlled but relaxed atmosphere!
We are looking for players in every orchestral department. The more the merrier! Why not come and join us?
