Hitchin Light Orchestra is our big friendly community orchestra. We have about 80 members, including our great singing group. Our ethos is "all ages, abilities, all instruments", and we play all kinds of repertoire, from big orchestral film scores to pop songs, big band tunes to Latin American party music!
We rehearse 7.30-9pm on Tuesday evenings in the main hall at Wilshere Dacre School in Hitchin.
This term we're working towards our Summer gig on 2nd July at Hitchin Town Hall, and we are sounding great!
