The SPO is an amateur orchestra and all playing members pay an annual subscription. Extra professional players are brought in as required to fill gaps and play specialist instruments (harp, contra-bassoon etc.) We have vacancies in most string sections and for percussion.
Brass and woodwind vacancies come around less often for obvious reasons but we are happy to put your name on a waiting list.
If you are interested in joining the orchestra please contact the secretary. There is no formal audition and in the first instance we invite those interested in joining to attend rehearsals to see how they get on. Membership is subject to the agreement of the committee.
