A community orchestra
The RTWSO is a community organisation that brings people together,
whether as playing members or audience.
The orchestra is made up from a core group of gifted, local musicians,
who play alongside a number of professional players. It aims to
provide orchestral programmes of excellent quality to new and existing
audiences. Among UK orchestras, the RTWSO is a true all-rounder
that presents a varied musical season and is good on mainstream
repertoire. The on-stage standards of the orchestra are
consistently high.

A rewarding musical experience
The RTWSO believes passionately in encouraging music
making within the local community, nurturing new talent, enhancing the
skill of players, and delivering enjoyable concerts that inspire the
widest possible range of people.
The orchestra has a policy of auditioning new members to gain an
understanding of their playing ability. Those who join the
orchestra enjoy playing regularly with others and tackling a broad
range of orchestral works under the guidance of leading
conductors. Many of the RTWSO’s playing members attend rehearsals
on Friday evenings before each performance, and some professionals are
engaged on the day of a concert. The RTWSO encourages regular
attendance
at rehearsals so that those sessions are a rewarding musical experience
involving as many parts as possible.

When
vacancies arise within the RTWSO, instrumentalists from all
sections of the orchestra could be invited by the Secretary to perform
in concerts, after a successful trial period. The orchestra’s
conductors and Committee regularly review the situation of all its
playing members. |
