Join
an amateur orchestra in London...
The Learning Orchestras Charitable Trust celebrated its 10th birthday in 2005.
From small beginnings as an evening class, led voluntarily by David Evans, with a handful of enthusiastic adult students we now have 2 orchestras: Intermediate (Grade 3+) and Main Orchestra (Grade 5/6+), each meeting for weekly rehearsals in central London.
From the start the aim was to give aspiring instrumentalists the opportunity to play in an orchestral setting at a much earlier stage of their musical education (or re-education) than is usual.
About Grade 3 and a reasonable ability to read music was the minimum requirement.
With the start of the Intermediate
Orchestra in September 2005 this philosophy has been re-endorsed.
Our Trustees are long serving members of the orchestra who combine a love of music with a wealth of experience from other walks of life.
