Coalville Light Orchestra

The Coalville Light Orchestra is an amateur orchestra which meets Tuesday evenings (term time) and also throughout the school holidays in July and August (excluding Bank Holiday week) to play light classical music in a relaxed environment just for the pleasure of it. Unlike many amateur orchestras, it does not give public performances so its members can enjoy playing without the spotlights, an audience and intensive rehearsal schedules.There is no annual membership fee and anyone still in full time education plays for free (as at Feb 2016) (for all others there is a small charge at each meeting attended).All music is supplied just for the evening and the ability to read music is essential. As we do not give public performances no minimum standard is specified however for most instruments at least grade 5 ability is required for much of the music played. For the more advanced player there is also the opportunity to play chamber music.The Orchestra meets in the Music Room at: Newbridge High School, Forest Road, Coalville,Leics, LE67 3SJ.
