Opportunities to join in!

Current Vacancies

We are very keen to grow all areas in our string section, so please do get in touch if you are interested in joining us.  You need to be able to play at least Grade 6 style pieces to be able to enjoy yourself.  We do not audition people, but suggest you come and try us out - by attending a rehearsal or two and seeing how you get on.   Our members are a mix of lifelong players, some late returners and some adult starters.  You can listen to the pieces we are preparing here.

If you are a wind player, like many orchestras we do not have any current vacancies, but please do get in touch as sometimes opportunities arise.

Come and Play Day

Each year, usually in September, we like to host a 'Come and Play' Day, where we invite musicians from Letchworth and beyond to join us for the day, to work on different pieces of the orchestral repertoire.

Expertly led by our Musical Director, Rowan Baker, it's a great way to play through some fantastic music, try out the orchestra, or get together with musical friends old and new.

At our come and play day in September 2024 we played Dvorak's 9th Symphony "From the New World", in Sept 2025 we played Brahms 4th Symphony with 50 players! It was a fantastic day. 

We will host our next Come and Play Day on 27 of September 2026  at the The Settlement, Nevells Road, Letchworth, SG6 4UB, between 10am and 5pm. We will be playing Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances under the expert direction of our conductor Rowan Baker.

You will need to bring your own lunch, but we will provide mountains of cake, tea and coffee!

If you would like to be kept up to date with plans for the day, please drop us an email! or book your place by emailing events@letchworth-sinfonia.org.uk.
