| | The COALVILLE LIGHT ORCHESTRA is an amateur
orchestra which meets weekly |
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 |
|
We have no Annual subscription
fee so you can chose to play often or occasionally
We simply collect £2 from you (or nothing at all if you are in full time education!) on each night you do attend to go toward the hire of the room, music & piano
