What we’re about

An opportunity to play chamber music in a relaxed and friendly group. Open to all string and woodwind* players (over 18yrs old), of at least Grade 4 standard with reasonable sight reading skills. The are no auditions and we won't ask to see your certificates! Music for each week will be announced in advance to allow players to download and print their own parts.

Chamber orchestra sessions take place in the Portobello Baptist Church, Portobello every Sunday, between 2:00 and 4:00pm. Some Sundays may be used to host smaller groups of strings, woodwind or mixed ensembles to explore more advanced music on a one-per-part basis.

To be able to take part in a session you must respond to the Event Notice by Thursday 12:00pm. Attendees will be sent a list of music on the Friday to allow them to print it and try it out. As far as possible the selected pieces will match the instruments expected at each session. It will not be possible to turn up without having replied and received the list of music to print.
