What standard do I need to be?
We do not require members to audition, however we recommend a Grade 6 or higher to meet the demands of the repertoire.
We expect members to practise their parts between rehearsals to achieve rewarding performances and constant improvement.
We ask members to maintain high standards of timeliness, orchestral discipline and respect during rehearsals.
