Darlington Orchestra is a community orchestra featuring local amateur musicians. We perform two regular concerts per year and occasionally participate in other events.
Opportunities with Darlington Orchestra
We now have several vacancies in the group because of maternity leave, ill health, recent retirements and changing work commitments for some members.
Do you play violin, viola, cello, double bass, trumpet, percussion – both kit and timps players needed – tuned percussion or/piano/harp? The orchestra would be delighted to hear from you.
There is no audition process but people need to be playing at Grade 5 level and above to be able to enjoy the music.
Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings during school term-time, from 7.15pm to 9pm, at St Thomas Aquinas Community Hall, Darlington DL1 2PU. There is free on-site parking.
