ASO is delighted to announced the appointment of our new Music Director Richard Scholfield. Richard is a highly acclaimed performer in his own right and tutors saxophone at the highest levels. We look forward to an exciting and progressive new year under his direction.
What we do
Under the expert guidance of our music director, Richard Schofield,
the orchestra explores a diverse repertoire of music from classical arrangements
through jazz, folk and rock to contemporary compositions and we have worked with
several composers and arrangers. For those so inclined, we can sometimes offer
the chance to experience conducting, arranging and composing for large ensembles.
We are a non-audition group and members of any age and of a a wide range of playing standards are welcome. We are happy to gain new players.
We charge a membership fee to adult players but please come along to a free taster session and try before you buy!
Children under 16 and those in full-time education participate free.
