I play in a good local orchestra (Knowle Sinfonia, soon to be relaunched as Solihull Symphony Orchestra) but unfortunately a couple of our violinists have moved away from the area recently and it would be wonderful to have some new recruits! Anyone from Grade 5-6 or so would be welcome to join us - see www.solihullorchestra.org.uk for details. If anyone is nervous about joining an orchestra, it really is worth taking the plunge - everyone there will have started at the back desk of the 2nd violins once, missing out all the tricky bits and joining in the "big tunes" - but it is really satisfying to be part of a large group and to tackle music you could never get to play at home on your own...Next rehearsal, 7.30pm, Tues night, Arden School, Knowle
