HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to a first rehearsal
No application form and no audition tape. It starts with a message and ends with you playing in the section.
1
Tell us what you play
Send a note with your instrument and a little about your playing experience and level of music. There is no audition, so there is nothing to prepare.
2
Come to a rehearsal
If we have availability for your instrument we will invite you to sit in for a rehearsal. We email you the details of where and when we rehearse, and what to bring.
3
Join the season
If it feels right for both of us, you can pay your membership fees and come along to regular rehearsals to start preparing for the next concert.
