Musical Director: Pam Smith

The orchestra was formed in the autumn of 2004 to play larger scale and more adventurous works specifically arranged or composed for the orchestral format.

Members come from all over Devon and Cornwall: we are keen to increase our numbers, and welcome new players of a good standard. Bass, Great Bass and Contrabass players are especially welcome.

We rehearse on the third Saturday of each month in Exeter from 10am - 1pm.

We meet in St James Church Hall, Prince Charles Rd, Exeter - click here for a map

We gave our first concert in Exeter in July 2005 (jointly with a local group of singers), which was much enjoyed by a small but discerning audience.

We have since given concerts in Crediton in March 2006 (jointly with a local West Gallery Group), in Exeter in March 2007 (jointly with the Red Square Balalaika & Domra Ensemble), and in June 2008 in Exeter (jointly with Companie Guilia).
