Rehearsal Orchestra

Who we are

The Rehearsal Orchestra is a musical charity that runs weekend and full-week orchestral courses for future professionals and talented amateurs over the age of eighteen. Since 1957, we have offered high-level training through intensive rehearsal, exploring key orchestral repertoire with experienced conductors and a team of professional string section principals. This supportive, non-competitive environment allows players to grow as musicians without the pressure of concert giving. Places on every course are heavily subsidised to enable as many players as possible to benefit from the opportunities we offer. Donations from charitable trusts and foundations help fund our bursary programme for full-time students.
