Through its unique musical partnership
between the professional musicians from its home base at
RAF Cranwell and instrumentalists from around the region,
the
orchestra ensures that the opportunity and experience of
the full symphonic repertoire is now accessible to the wider
local community.
The orchestra is conducted by Richard Murray
(Director of Music, The Band of the RAF Regiment) and its
Principal Guest Conductor Roderick Dunk.
Although the orchestra currently has some
vacancies for violin players, applications for all instruments
are always welcome.
Rehearsals generally take place at 3-weekly
intervals on Wednesday evenings in the bandroom of the RAF
Regiment Band from 7.30 - 9.45pm.
Orchestral members
should be aware that the security arrangements at Royal Air
Force Cranwell require that all personnel are in possession
of a special security pass to gain access to the base to attend
rehearsals, therefore prior notification of attendance is required. |
