ABOUT US

 

Making music in beautiful South Devon

​

We are a small but ambitious amateur chamber orchestra, originating in Dartmouth, but based in Totnes. Players travel from across the South Devon and beyond. Our aim is to provide a playing experience in weekly rehearsals and around three concerts a year that is supportive, collaborative and has the aim of working on great music to the best of our ability as a musical team. Under our new Musical Director David Chatterton and Deputy Music Director Laura Parfitt we aim to develop musicianship, expression and enjoyment alongside clarity of direction - and a sociable tea break in our rehearsals! 

​

The orchestra is a registered charity (1085224), and we are keen to take our music to new venues and new audiences while supporting local charities through our music. We strive to continually enhance our reputation for delivering quality performances, while maintaining the friendly, inclusive atmosphere and strong community feeling within the orchestra.
