MembershipSolihull Symphony Orchestra is an amateur orchestra based between Birmingham and Coventry in the West Midlands - and our members play for enjoyment and relaxation rather than monetary reward. Membership is by subscription and is subject to conditions as described in the Rules and Constitution. The subscription rate for all members (September 2009) is £100, or £40 if paid termly. This covers the costs of rehearsals, orchestral tuition and occasional sectional coaching. Instrumentalists interested in joining the orchestra are invited to contact us. We also welcome enquiries for short term membership - if you're studying here for a year, or on a short term work placement for example ? Use our online contact form or email info@solihullsymphony.org.uk or phone 0121 745 5548 At the moment, we are actively looking for regular players in the following sections Strings - immediate vacancies for 1st and 2nd violins, violas, cellos, and double basses Brass - we would welcome enquiries from trumpet and trombone players willing to attend rehearsals regularly Timpani / Percussion - especially if you have your own kit. Keyboard - xylophone, glockenspiel, celeste etc - ideally the actual instrument, or electronic versions for rehearsals Although there are no formal auditions or entry requirements, players will normally be expected to have had some orchestral experience. However, a willingness to learn and the ability to attend rehearsals regularly are equally important!
