Are you interested in playing with one of the south's premier amateur orchestras?
Why not give it a try!
Then come along to one of our rehearsals see below for details.
Are you afraid that you will play so many wrong notes you will stand out like a "sore thumb"?
Don't worry you won't be the only one. It has happened to all of us!
We play a broad selection of the standard orchestral repertoire spread across all the musical periods.
You should have some knowledge of sight reading and to play standard orchestral works you should be at about grade 7 or 8 level but we don't look for qualifications, just enthusiasm.
So why not come to one of our rehearsals which are held at the Christchurch Centre in Chichester on Tuesdays at 7.30 to 9.30 pm, make yourself known to either Mark or Michael (see the conductor and leader tabs to see what they look like) and give it a try or if you want more information send us a message using "contact us"
