(more details later in the term)

I had not played in an orchestra for over thirty years, and was inevitably apprehensive about returning, but I need not have worried,

I was made to feel welcome by a very friendly group.

John Woodhams Trumpet

We rehearse in St Stephen's Junior School in Canterbury, where there is ample, free parking and we are very grateful to the school for making us welcome.

If you like playing your instrument and would like to have fun and make music with others then do please come along and meet us. There are no stressful auditions!
