The GCOS orchestra rehearses for around six weeks ahead of each concert, bringing together experienced players to support the Society's performances. It accompanies the choir and performs a wide range of orchestral repertoire, from well-known classics to more ambitious large-scale works.
Rehearsals are focused but enjoyable, with an emphasis on musicality, collaboration and achieving a high standard of performance within a relatively short rehearsal period.
If you are an experienced orchestral player and would be interested in taking part in future concerts, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Please contact our orchestral fixer, Charlie Cottam, at ccottam@me.com.
Rehearsals
Orchestra rehearsals are usually held at Elizabeth College, unless otherwise indicated for a particular project.
Rehearsal schedules are confirmed in advance of each concert period, and players are expected to attend regularly in order to ensure a cohesive and well-prepared performance.
For any queries relating to rehearsals or availability, please contact Charlie directly at ccottam@me.com.
