ORCHESTRAL MEMBERSHIP
Devon Philharmonic's ethos is to provide its players, usually numbering around 75 – 80, with the opportunity to perform a range of challenging and diverse music, alongside the standard repertoire. The orchestra is a friendly and welcoming orchestra but there is currently considerable pressure on places and consequently there may be a waiting list to join some sections of the orchestra.
String players should ideally have recent orchestral experience and attained a minimum of ABRSM grade 8 or an equivalent qualification. Although there are currently no formal auditions, if a place is available you may be invited for a few weeks’ playing before membership is confirmed.
Vacancies arising in the woodwind, brass or percussion sections are usually filled by those who have previously played with the orchestra in some capacity such as while deputising for our regular players or when additional players are required for large non-standard repertoire.
Please contact us if you are interested in joining the orchestra or to be considered for deputising.
