The Orchestras

We are an enthusiastic and welcoming group of amateur musicians who get together on Saturday mornings to play music in a fun and friendly environment.

Rehearsals are held in Great Barrow Village Hall, near Chester and we welcome players of any instrument, of any age and with any level of experience.

We are an "open admission" orchestra - which means that there is no audition and no-one is ever turned away. 

We currently have 3 separate orchestras; Introductory, Intermediate and the "Main" Orchestra, so we are sure there will be an orchestra suitable to your current level of playing.

We usually perform 2 concerts per year; one at Christmas and another prior to the summer break.  We occasionally receive other invitations to perform such as at charity events and at Chester Music Society Club Evenings.

There is a small weekly subscription which can either be paid each week on arrival or by Standing Order (which will bring a slight discount). The Introductory and Intermediate Orchestra's weekly subscription is £2 and the Main Orchestra is £4.  If you attend both, the fee is still £4.

Membership of the Orchestra is open to any person interested in furthering its objects. In exceptional circumstances the committee has the power to decide that fees be waived or reduced for an individual.

The Jan Modelski Community Orchestra of Chester is a Registered Charity. For more information, see our constitution.

The orchestra has an insurance policy which includes Public Liablity cover, but it does not cover members' instruments, so members are advised to insure their instruments themselves.
