Future Dates

New dates for the workshops have just been announced… so something to mark in your diaries.

Autumn Workshop – Sunday 11th October 2026 – 1:30 to 4:30 pm

Spring Workshop – Sunday 7th February 2027 – 1:30 to 4:30 pm

Summer Workshop – Sunday 9th May 2027 – 1:30 to 4:30 pm

No program for any of these has been decided but it is sure to be an eclectic mix of different styles accompanied, hopefully with a scone or two.

What we do in the Workshops

The purpose is to provide members of WSO and guests to a ‘play in’ afternoon when there will be opportunities for participants to play through movements of concertos amongst other items. The workshops are normally be led Rosemary Fitchett (Leader of WSO) but occasionally we have some guest conductors.

If you are not a member of the orchestra but would like to attend then feel free to email Rosemary at leader@wsorchestra.org.uk.

They are very relaxed affairs with a good interval halfway through to enjoy tea and cakes.

String Workshop in Action Feb 2024 – debating if jam or clotted cream should be spread first on the tea-time scones.
