Almost unchanged repertoire has been confirmed for Easter Orchestra 2022. Places will be held over for members previously signed up for 2020/21, and a list of remaining vacancies published at http://easterorchsoc.org in a few weeks when applications open.
Sadly the ongoing pandemic has meant we must again cancel Easter Orchestra in 2021. See http://easterorchsoc.org for more details. Dates for 2022 are 8th - 14th April 2022: we look forward to seeing everyone then!
