James Allen Community Orchestra meets several times a year to perform major works from the orchestral repertoire as well as taking part in other events. See below for recent performances. The orchestra rehearses intensively with just three rehearsals prior to the concert. Members consist of currrent and ex-pupils, current and ex-staff alongside local amateur and professional musicians. There are vacancies in many sections and new members are always welcome - if you are interested please email the music department.
