Our membership is made up of over 60 dedicated amateur musicians from Cumbria and North Lancashire. We rehearse weekly in Kendal from September to June and give three public concerts a year. In our performances of large-scale works, professional musicians augment the orchestra – particularly in the percussion section! We present the full range of the established symphony concert repertoire, and also newer, lesser-known works of the 20th and the 21st century. We endeavour to support and encourage young musicians embarking on a professional career.
