The orchestra welcomes players of all interests and backgrounds, provided they meet a minimum playing standard. In the larger string sections, where we already have some strong players, we are happy to accept most players, so anyone of Grade 5 standard (or with playing experience) are welcome. We do not hold formal auditions for string instruments so we encourage you to get in touch and arrange to come along and play with us for an evening. For exposed instruments like woodwind and brass, we require good players perhaps of grade 7 or 8 for solo instruments. Vacancies for wind players also arise from time to time so do best to check with us first for vacancies. Drop us an email at 
with some details about yourself and we will get back in touch with you.
Right now, we urgently need cellos and double basses. If you live locally or are just staying in/near Loughborough for a few weeks, why not visit us one Monday evening? We promise a friendly welcome.
