Wind & brass

Wind and brass places in particular are limited, and there is an element of competition in selecting players. To ensure a sufficiently high standard of playing to make the course enjoyable for all members, it is crucial that wind and brass are experienced orchestral players with excellent sight-reading skills. Players should be prepared to divide the parts out fairly between the section. Please state your experience on your application form.

Student places and scholarships

Thanks to very generous support from the Yellow Car Charitable Trust, they are providing some student/young people’s scholarship places free of charge for string and harp players aged 25 or under.

Selection procedure

The Musical Directors select players based on the need to achieve the highest possible standard of playing and a balanced and versatile orchestra.

The Musical Directors’ decision is final.
