We are a string orchestra in Cirencester that draws players from all over Gloucestershire and beyond. We play an eclectic range of music from Baroque to film scores. We give several concerts a year in the Cotswolds. Especially popular are our Friends and Family concerts, where we combine making music with supper.

We are friendly and inclusive and, while striving for high standards, we welcome string players of all abilities. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 8pm to 9:45pm at Watermoor Church Hall, Cirencester.
