Current repertoire

In the past few months we have been looking at Haydn's symphony Le Midi, Chaminade's Automne, La Boutique Fantasque by Rossini/ Respighi, Gounod's ballet music for Faust, Schubert's 3rd symphony and A Kentish Suite by Hubert Clifford. And that's not all. Chaminade was a first for us; she was our first woman composer. We know very little about either her or Clifford, so let us know what you know.

Vacancies

We are still growing ! At the last count we had 31 members, ranging in age from 11 to 80. We aim to go on growing the orchestra, so we are looking for people to play the oboe and someone to join our new horn-player. And you can never have too many violins and violas.
