Student Player Applications
Applications are invited for young players to attend the first rehearsal for the upcoming May concert and play through the full programme.
This is a great opportunity to experience playing in a large orchestra, with the orchestra's conductor Simon Wright.
The musicians in each section will be very welcoming and helpful, and you won't be expected to play every note!
