Well, it feels that summer is almost done, and we find ourselves one week away from the start of the new season with KOS. Our first rehearsal will take place on 19th August, warming up from 6:45pm in the Old Kirk, starting at 7pm prompt. We have quite a few new members joining us, and look forward to welcoming them.

If you’re interested in joining us too, please contact the secretary in plenty of time using our email address. Some of our sections are full, so this lets us ensure we have space for your instrument and allows us to prepare music for you.

Four weeks until rehearsals begin on 19th August for the new 25/26 season.

New players…..

Our orchestra has grown over the past few years but we do have a few seats left, mainly in lower brass and percussion. There are no auditions but a recommended grade 5+ is recommended.

Please do not contact us on Facebook but DO write to the orchestra’s email address to enquire about vacancies. If there are no spaces in the section of your choice, you will be added to a waiting list.

Audience….

We will be preparing a great programme to perform to you in October. Stay tuned* for more information soon.

*pum unashamedly intended.

Concert night!

If you’re at a loss with what to do with your evening, why not come along to hear an extraordinary concert featuring our principal flautist playing a Vivaldi concerto, hear the orchestra sing and play - again! Listen to old pieces, creative pieces and new compositions from composers - both of whom will be there tonight.

It promises to be an entertaining evening.

Tickets £5 on the door only. We’d love to see you there. 🎶 🖤
