Telford Orchestra
Patron: Lord Grocott of Telford
'Wrekin, mighty giant.....'
Come along and join us!
Come
and join one of the friendliest orchestras in the area!
We
do not have a formal audition process. Instead, you are warmly invited to
attend two or three rehearsals to play with us and meet existing members. Our wind section is currently fully subscribed, however we are
in need of more string players, particularly cellos and a regular double bass.*See Recruitment item below.* We would also welcome a regular percussion
player.
Formal musical qualifications are not a requirement but a standard equivalent to Grade
5 or above is probably necessary to play most of the music we tackle.
We rehearse at Chilcott Gardens, Bridgnorth
Road, Madeley on Monday evenings from 7.30pm to 9.30pm
(with a break half way through for refreshments).
