Since it’s formation in 1953, the orchestra has offered enthusiastic amateurs, with a range of abilities, the opportunity to play together in an atmosphere, which aims to promote enjoyment in music making.
The Musical Director, David Porter has been in control since late 2002 and under his direction the orchestra has made significant strides forward both as regards music and administration. Development of the orchestra was recently given a further boost by receipt of a grant from “Awards for All” (A lottery fund element).The repertoire encompasses many classical works as well as those of a lighter nature.
