In the DSO we are lucky enough to have a very strong core of regular players, some of whom have been with us for many years. However, we are always keen to welcome new players to the orchestra, especially younger players, students and string players. If you play an orchestral instrument, do get in touch via the form below. We look for Grade VIII standard, or students studying to Grade VIII, due to the nature of our repertoire and the quality of our performances.
We now rehearse on Wednesday evenings at the Mick Jagger Centre, Shepherds Lane, Dartford. If you would like to come along and want more details please drop us an email: janeddorrian@gmail.com or call 07707 680814.
