What is The Cobweb Orchestra?
The Cobweb Orchestra is a friendly community orchestra for players of all abilities on a wide variety of instruments.
There are:
- no auditions
- no entry requirements
- no weekly commitments (although it'll always be nice to see you regularly when you can make it!)
- no limits on the number of players
The emphasis of The Cobweb Orchestra is on sharing our enthusiasm for and enjoyment of music.
So, who comes to The Cobweb Orchestra?
The Cobweb Orchestra is very flexible; we are always welcoming new members. Some of our members are seasoned, experienced players who want to enjoy their music in new company. Some are complete beginners who may never have played in an orchestra before. Many of us have been too busy to practice for several years and want to blow the cobwebs off our music stands and start playing again.
