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!

Our recent event

A Musical Miscellany

Saturday 7th June 2025 - Church of St Mary the Virgin, Pulham St Mary 

Our summer concert this year was at the kind invitation of the Parish Church at Pulham St Mary. Starting with three excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, the main item was Schubert's 8th Symphony, known as the "Unfinished", a lyrical and romantic piece ably played by the orchestra. The first half concluded with the Grasshopper's Dance by Bucalossi. The highlights of the concert were two bagatelles by Finzi with solo clarinet expertly played by Michael Bishop. This was followed by the delightful Scenes Rustiques by Mouton and a rousing rendition of the Dambusters March by Coates.

 

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