Which ensemble is the right one for me?

We can help you decide! Joining The Instrumentals is easy (no auditions!) and we are always welcoming of new players. To join one of the adult ensembles, you are required to be able to sight read and play either a string or woodwind instrument and for the youth ensemble we ask that you are taking regular music lessons and have learnt your instrument for a year. Email us at: info@communityorchestras.org.au and you will be directed to one of the ensemble coordinators.

FEES

To support the Orchestra’s development, fees apply. We are a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation, so fees are neccessary for covering the the time and skills of our musical director, venue hire and insurance.

If you’re interested, we invite you to play with us for 2 rehearsals at no charge (free) so that you can get a feel for whether we are a good fit for you!

Orchestra fees are paid by the semester (Jan – June and July – Dec) and you will be invoiced at the start of each semester. Dorks and Awks if other commitments mean that you can’t come regularly, please talk to your ensemble coordinator. If you are particularly enthusiastic and wish to play in both Dorks and Awks, it’s just one fee for both orchestras.
