Play with us
There's a chairwaiting.
What we ask
The part you play.
Turn up
The conductor publishes a rehearsal schedule with each concert programme. We know everyone here is a volunteer with a life attached, but the orchestra only works if most of us are in the room most weeks, and on stage on the day.
Learn your part
Practise at home and play your part to the best of your ability, to the satisfaction of your section leader.
Pay the membership fee
It covers insurance, music hire and the rehearsal venue: the three things that would otherwise stop the orchestra.
Bring an audience
Tell people about the concerts. A full hall is what keeps membership affordable for everyone.
Current openings
Where we need players.
Every section is full at the moment. Send an expression of interest anyway: seats come free more often than you would think, and we keep a list.
Thursday evenings
Rehearsals run 7:30 to 9:30pm. A schedule goes out with each concert programme.
By invitation
The Conductor, Concertmaster and your Section Leader decide, and places depend on vacancies in your section.
Take your chair
$80 a year, free for players 17 and under, pro-rata for a single concert season.
Step one
Start with a note.
Tell us what you play and we will put you in front of the right section leader. It is not an application and it is not binding — it starts a conversation.
