Student Player Applications
As part of it's charitable outreach work, applications are invited for young players to attend the first rehearsal for the upcoming October 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!
