Orchestral Players


We welcome, and endeavour to accommodate, those individuals who wish to join. For this reason, we do not hold formal auditions and there is no set criteria for membership.

There is a fee for membership of £50 per term (Annual £140, Annual Concession £90), this covers music hire costs and supports the general administration of the orchestra.

String players are invited along to a rehearsal then 'self select' by either aspiring (or not) to the repertoire and our approach. As a guide, a playing level of Grade VI or above would be necessary to contribute fully.

Wind players, (if and when a place is available) would be required to have a trial period. The standard is high.

We try to be as 'open access' as we can as it is very much a community orchestra run primarily for its members and those interested in supporting them in performance.

Key positions (principals) are usually recruited directly by David Knight or other existing principals.




Patrons

Are you a regular concert goer?
Why not become a patron of the Orchestra?
Patrons get 3 concert tickets a year for only £35 a year. This includes a free interval drink, reserved seating at concerts and we keep you informed of the concerts coming up.
For concerts at Milton Keynes Theatre the full price of a ticket has to be paid.
