Welcome!
We are a friendly orchestra of largely amateur musicians based in Dorking, who practise together each Wednesday evening and normally perform three concerts a year in St Martin's Church right in the heart of the town.
We are looking forward to sharing a beautiful, exciting and uplifting programme in our summer concert, featuring pieces by Schumann and Elgar and rounding off with Bizet's Symphony in C.
We look forward to seeing you in the audience, or, if you are interested in joining the orchestra, please see the 'New players' section below.

New Members
We have welcomed a number of new members in the wind and string sections over the past year. And we are currently recruiting - in particular we are looking for a bassoon player and an oboist as well as viola and cello players, but do always have spaces for other string and brass players too. If you are interested in joining our friendly orchestra, please email us to arrange a no-pressure taster for a rehearsal or two at enquiries@dorkingphilharmonia.org.uk.
If you play a woodwind instrument and are interested in joining, please still get in touch as we are always on the lookout for talented local players.
