About Us
WHO ARE WE?
A thriving amateur orchestra formed in September 2017, we are constantly expanding to welcome a wider range of adult players of all ages. The Brooklands Sinfonia is very much a 'players orchestra' - cooperative and friendly.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO START THE WEEK!
LOTS OF GREAT MUSIC TO PLAY AND PERFORM
We have an extensive library of orchestral music (symphonies, concertos, overtures etc from Baroque to Modern) and members of the orchestra are encouraged to suggest works they would like to play.
JOIN US
If you are usually free on a Monday morning then come along. String players are welcome to "try out" the orchestra for a couple of weeks before joining. Currently we are in need of more cello, double bass, bassoon and trumpet players. Flute, oboe and clarinet sections are fully subscribed, but we are happy for anyone to sign up to dep if needed. There are no auditions but to be able to get the most from the pieces we play, you will need to be at least Grade 5 standard for strings and Grade 6 for wind and brass.
Orchestra members include parents, flexible, temp and part-time workers and retired people.
