The Orchestra

Waiting for concert

The objective of the Society throughout its 100+ year history has been to gather musicians of varying abilities to play classical music. Most players are experienced amateurs who enjoy playing symphonic repertoire with the occasional challenge.

Each term culminates in a concert or informal play through.

The orchestra performs a range of classical music dating from the sixteenth century to the present day. The size varies from miniatures to full scale symphonic works. There is a list of works being studied in the current season. Our listings for previous years are in the archive of the orchestra.

If you are interested in the orchestra and want more information, more details can be found in join us, or contact us at woodorch@gmail.com.
