The mission of Orchestra Kingston is to give people from the community the delight of playing and performing together orchestral music, including Canadian repertoire.

New membership

Player membership is by invitation and involves consultation with the relevant section leader and the conductor.  After a suitable trial period, the prospective member and the section leader will discuss the prospective member’s eligibility, taking into account various factors such as general playing level, past experience, awareness of orchestral etiquette, reliability, and the ability to get along with other members. Following acceptance by the section leader and the conductor, a new membership will be formally registered by the Committee.
