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

An Evening of Light Music (and a Fairytale or two …)

Saturday 3rd October 2026 - Church of St Mary the Virgin, Pulham St Mary 

Once again, we were delighted to return to the Parish Church at Pulham St Mary and support their much-needed repairs and renovation. After a fairy tale opening with excerpts from Stravinksky’s ‘Firebird Suite’, we were treated to a ‘Concerto for Two Clarinets’ by Franz Krommer, with Clare Jarman and Mike Bishop as talented soloists. Then it was back to fairy land with the Nocturne and Wedding March from Mendlessohn’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The centre piece of the second half was Shubert’s ‘6th Symphony’, played with assurance by the orchestra. The concert ended with Peter Cooper’s ‘Over Here’, expertly built around a medley of American wartime hits. Altogether, a very enjoyable evening.

Particular thanks are due to members of the church who laid on both a teatime spread for the orchestra and, later, a range of refreshments for the audience.
