About the orchestra

We are an adult amateur orchestra formed for players of all levels to explore the string orchestra repertoire in a friendly and supportive environment. The standard of the players currently ranges from about Grade 3 to Grade 8, and the group is a very friendly one! We have taken part in the Bromsgrove Autumn Fair and Worcester Festival as well as joint concerts with Bromsgrove Choral Society and others.

Bromsgrove Amateur Strings (formerly Chaddesley Strings and Junior Strings) was founded by violinist Georgia Vale in 2005 near Chaddesley Corbett in Worcestershire but now rehearses on Saturday mornings in Bromsgrove. All are welcome – no audition necessary! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in joining, or would like to come along for a taster session!

Past and present repertoire includes:

Handel, Concerto Grossi
Corelli, Christmas Concerto
Warlock, Capriol Suite
Wiren, Serenade
Elgar, Six Very Easy Pieces (arrangement)
Bartok Romanian Dances (arrangement)
Pleyel, Duo (arrangement)
Bach Cappriccio (arrangement)
Various Scottish Reels and other folk music
