Subscriptions

We welcome all orchestral instruments, strings, wind, brass and percussion, and we also have recorders and a keyboard. We have our own set of timps and other percussion.

The orchestra is a friendly group of musicians, and many players meet together in smaller sections or ensembles between regular DE rehearsals.

Members pay a small subscription.

Any unable to afford the subscription will be supported by the orchestra.
