University of Surrey String Orchestra

University of Surrey String Orchestra A friendly ensemble for all string players at the University! We rehearse on Thursdays from 6-8pm. Our rehearsals are fun, and there are always biscuits!

The String Orchestra is a friendly ensemble for all string players at the University of Surrey, regardless of the subject you are studying. We rehearse on Tuesdays from 6.15-7.45pm in the PATS building on the eastern end of campus. We perform in a wide range of contexts, from the Music Department’s Ensembles Concerts to recording sessions and one-off university events. Working with student conduc

tors, we work on a wide selection of repertoire, with highlights from last year including: Finzi’s Prelude for String Orchestra; Sibelius’ Andante Festivo; Holst’s St. Paul’s Suite, and our much enjoyed rendition of Zimmer’s Pirates of the Caribbean. As we are an open ensemble, we have no audition process. All we ask of you is commitment and enthusiasm! If you wish to join, find our stand at Fresher’s Fayre and sign up. You can also email us ([email protected]), or simply turn up! We welcome new players throughout the year, and are currently recruiting all orchestral strings (violins, violas, cellos and double basses).
