\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>We are conducted by Andrew Collis, a recorder player, teacher and conductor. You can fine out more about Andrew on his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We play a range of music, enjoying arrangements of orchestral works, and modern works written specifically for recorder orchestra of which there are an increasing number, by composers like\u00a0Steve Marshall<\/a>,\u00a0Dietrich Schnabel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0John Hawkes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Members come from all over Devon,\u00a0Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, and from the Bristol area: we are keen to increase our numbers, and welcome new players of a good standard. Bass, Great Bass and Contrabass players are especially welcome.\u00a0 If you would like to be considered,\u00a0<\/strong>we expect proficiency in both C and F instruments (Grade 5 plus) and also preferably to have and play a bass. Contact is Shirley Brown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rehearsal dates for\u00a0 2025 – 2026 are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We meet in Kenton Village Hall, near Exeter – click here for a map<\/a><\/p>\n
