We currently have vacancies in these sections:
- Violin
- Cello
- Double bass
For other sections, if you’d like to join our waiting list we’d love to hear from you.
We welcome new players of around Grade 8 standard or above. Our current players range from amateurs playing at a professional standard, to those who have taken up their instrument again after a few years off. If in doubt, get in touch!
We need all of our players to make a real commitment to rehearsals and concerts, so please have a look at the Commitment and Attendance section on the members’ page to see what our expectations are. New members of the orchestra join us on a trial basis, with membership confirmed on completion of a successful first term.
Rehearsals
Our rehearsal schedule is on the Members’ page.
Rehearsals are in Hammersmith on Monday evenings for nine weeks before each concert (except for bank holidays when we rehearse on Tuesdays). The rehearsal schedule normally includes sectional rehearsals with coaching from well-established tutors.
Subs (membership fees)
Members of FSO pay subs to help cover the costs of running the orchestra. Please see the Members’ Page for details.
Getting here
We normally rehearse at Novotel London West (entrance on Chalk Hill Road, off Shortlands, Hammersmith W6 8DR). The nearest Tube stations are Hammersmith and Barons Court.
By public transport, the Novotel is under 20 minutes from Barnes, Chelsea, Chiswick, Earl’s Court, Fulham, Hammersmith, Kensington and Shepherds Bush. And it’s less than 30 minutes from Acton, Ealing, Kew, Notting Hill, Putney, Roehampton, Richmond, Southfields, the City, the West End, Vauxhall, Hounslow and Wimbledon.
