The Orchestra provides an excellent and enjoyable musical experience for musicians of all ages, and performs regularly in public. Our current programme repertoire indicates the type of music that our players and audiences enjoy.

All musicians are welcome and there are no age or proficiency limits; in other words, we do not audition. Generally, potential members join us for a few rehearsals and then decide for themselves whether to apply for membership or not. To date, the only reason for deferring acceptance of applications has been a practical limit on the number of players of each instrument.

The orchestra complements its non-audition policy by an atmosphere of friendship and mutual support amongst the members. This contributes directly to a continuously improving performance standard.

The orchestra is administered by an elected committee, which maintains our friendly atmosphere policy and, amongst all other things, vets and appoints our Conductor & Musical Director .

Those who like what we do and wish to support us in some way may contact our secretary.

At present, the orchestra is funded by concert receipts and members' subscriptions only. Whilst sponsorships are not actively sought, they would be warmly considered.

The Sillars Light Orchestra is a non-denominational community orchestra, centred in Norwich, Norfolk, England. We have around 35 playing members who rehearse as a group every Wednesday evening in school terms only.
