The orchestra gives three concerts a year (November, March, and July), with ten rehearsals before each concert. We work hard with our Music Director (Richard Howarth) and our professional Leader (Alexandra Stemp) to achieve a high technical and musical standard. We also have fun…..
We meet in St Mary’s Club & Function Room in Chorley, on a Tuesday evening from 7:15 until 9:30. (See the Players page for detailed directions).
Come and play with us
We have vacancies in most string sections and for percussion. Brass and woodwind vacancies come around less often for obvious reasons but we are happy to put your name on a waiting list. There is no formal audition and in the first instance we invite those interested in joining to attend rehearsals to see how they get on. Membership is subject to the agreement of the committee
If you would like to join our list of people we can call on for occasional concerts, please get in touch.
