Just over a week until we come together to work on Dvorak 8. More strings would be great!

It's two weeks until we come together to plumb the emotional depths of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6. premiered shortly before his death and his own attempt on his life.

We would benefit from some more strings and 2 horns, so please pass on to your wise musical networks!

I've spent a little time tidying up the website and changing the logo! The website and instagram are updated with the most up-to-date details and the images are all from our series of play days and people involved, i.e. Darren and Marina.

Take a look! Marina can be seen playing the Henriette Bosmans Violin Concerto with the Richmond Orchestra, it's a great work and she champions composers outside of the classical canon, especially women.
