The New Forest Community Orchestra has been in existence since 2002. We are amateur musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds and span a variety of ages! We aim for a high standard; there is no entrance audition but would suggest Grade 5 standard as a minimum. We are currently especially aiming to recruit string, oboe and brass players. |

 |
We rehearse at 7.30pm on Wednesday evenings at Hordle Parish Church Memorial Hall, Hordle Lane, Hordle, Lymington SO41 0FB. We stage two to three concerts a year in the New Forest area. We have recently welcomed Lee Marchant as our new conductor, who started after Easter 2011. |
