​

Hitchin Light Orchestra is our big friendly community orchestra. We have about 80 members, including our great singing group. Our ethos is "all ages, abilities, all instruments", and we play all kinds of repertoire, from big orchestral film scores to pop songs, big band tunes to Latin American party music!

​

We rehearse 7.30-9pm on Tuesday evenings in the main hall at Wilshere Dacre School in Hitchin.

​

This term we're working towards our Summer gig on 2nd July at Hitchin Town Hall, and we are sounding great!

​

Subscription needs to go up this term so single membership will be £90

family discount will be for two from the same family £160 and

three from the same family £200.

​

Dear Friends, All of our groups start back later this month.

 

21st September Camden Light Orchestra

22nd September Hitchin Light Orchestra

24th September Phat Sax

26th September WD RADIO WD Strings WD Vocal Project Rock School - Hitchin Music Project

 

This year we need to slightly increase the termly fee to keep up with inflation - we are putting up the 10 week course fee to £90. For Hitchin Light Orchestra only, there will still be family discounts (ie two members from the same family will now be £160 and three members from the same family will be £200.)

 

I hope this small increase will not cause distress to anyone.

 

Two special notices are....

​

I'm thinking of relaunching Garage Clarinets on Thursday evenings at 7.30 - 8.30 To make this happen I'd need solid commitment from 5 people so let me know if that is of interest.

 

For our tiny string group WD Strings to continue we need to recruit at least one new violinist.

 

The group is really small like a string quartet with extra cellos but it's really great music and great fun. On Saturday mornings at 10.45 - 11.45 so who's in?

 

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and getting started!

 

All the best,

 

Chris xxx
