For just over forty years the orchestra has played a significant, and at times quite innovative role in music-making and musical education on and around the Suffolk - Norfolk border, the predominantly rural area of the Waveney Valley.

Prospective members can look forward to a balanced mix of enjoyment, education and social interaction in a relaxed but constructive atmosphere, while a relatively undemanding schedule of bi-weekly rehearsals usually allows members to successfully maintain their other interests.

If you are looking to take up playing again, or possibly for a change of musical scenery, then please consider joining us!

Spring Concert

Saturday 12th April 2025 - Church of St Peter and St Paul, East Harling

Our spring concert this year was at the kind invitation of the Parish Church at East Harling. Starting with several excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, the main item was Beethoven's 5th Symphony, which the orchestra played with their normal flair. After an interval, the church choir joined the orchestra in a rendition of Finlandia by Sibelius. The words evoke the true nationalistic nature of the piece, finishing with 'Thy morning's come, O Finland of ours!'. The concert concluded with some delightful Scenes Rustique by Mouton and the Grasshopper's Dance by Bucalossi.

 

Our thanks to the members of the church for their welcome and refreshments.
