Vacancies
We are particularly keen to hear from local cellists, viola, horn, and trumpet players. We have a healthy membership in most other sections (our woodwind section is full), but there are vacancies. For information on joining please email vacancies@cambridgeconcertorchestra.org.
This term's repertoire
You can get a sense of what we play by glancing through the music we have in our pads presently. Some of this will show up in our forthcoming concerts and some pieces are just there because we enjoy playing them in rehearsals.
