In the charity's own words
The charity allows for the reunion of amateur musicians of varying levels of playing abilities and standards to rehearseorchestral music together in central London for a very affordable membership (or in some cases for free). We aim to make music accessible for musicians and audiences as we believe it generally improves the quality of life.
