What do we play?
 |
The Orchestra plays varied items from the classical repertoire. Selection of the program is by the conductor, but taking account of suggestions from the players. We own a library of scores, including many of the major symphonies. Other music is hired as required. The program may include an invited soloist, performing a work of their choice. The Orchestra tries to maintain the full complement of string
and wind players that would be found in a standard orchestra.
There are currently about 50 members.
