At the moment we have nearly 50 regular members and our rehearsal hall is almost full when we all attend. We try to maintain a good balance of sound across the orchestra and so we are currently operating a waiting list for some sections. If, however, you are interested in joining us then please do contact us, whatever instrument you play, as it may only be a short time before we have a space.
We emphasise the fun and enjoyment of making music and so do not require minimum grade levels or auditions for new members. As a consequence we welcome new players of all ages and abilities who would like to join us to make music.
Rehearsals: Mondays 7.20pm - 9.00pm. Ermine United Reform Church, Carlton Grove, Lincoln. LN2 2EF
