When, where and at what time are rehearsals?
Rehearsals are held about every two weeks during term time on Monday evenings. Please arrive any time after 7:30 in order to being playing at 7:45pm. We aim to finish promptly at 9:30pm.
They are held either at Byron House (Junior School) of St John's College School, 63 Grange Road, Cambridge, CB3 9AA or in the Music Hall at King's College School on West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DN. Final details are also be circulated in information emails - see the sign-up form below.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic. rehearsals are cancelled for the Autumn term. Instead please down load parts for Beethoven 5th Symphony from the Petrucci music library https://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page and practise your part in preparation for playing it when the orchestra reconvenes.
We are meeting occasionally via Zoom video conference until we can meet again in person
