CLO is an orchestra of around 70 amateur and semi-professional musicians who meet in Henley Community Centre, near Ipswich, every Tuesday morning during school term times. We perform concerts of “light classical” and popular music in aid of charities. We rehearse on Tuesday mornings, term-time 100-1200 at Henley Community Centre. Our String Orchestra meets fortnightly after the orchestra rehearsal 1230-1400.
Our conductor is Vincent Taber. Our leader is Cecilia Metherell.
If you are interested in joining us, please visit our membership page. We ask that players should, ideally, be of Grade 5 standard.
Current Vacancies – We have vacancies for trombonists.
