About us
Autumn Term 2008
We are a small, friendly, enthusiastic orchestra which meets on Thursday evenings. Conducted/tutored by Leo Patsalides at St Anne's church, Limehouse, East London
The music is challenging, so, as a guide, this is for Grade 5/6 players
upwards - but please don't be over modest, if you are around that level
and want to come and give it a try you will be made very welcome -
this is ELLSO!
Our aim is to perform music in public concerts. Although this orchestra is a part of ELLSO, it is also open to non-ELLSO players.
Auditions are not held and so if you are interested in joining please do contact us
Concerts
Public concerts are given at the end of each term. These usually form part of the main ELLSO end of term concert.
Coaching fees
- The fees per term are £75
- There is also a compulsory £15.00 annual ELLSO membership fee, for which you will be kept informed of ELLSO activities and other related events
