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. 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.

Joining
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.

Friendly atmosphere
The orchestra compensates for 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 amongst other things, vets and recommends the appointment of our Music Director to members.

Funding
At present, the orchestra is funded by concert receipts and members' subscriptions only. Whilst sponsorships are not sought, they would be warmly considered. Those who wish to become a Friend of the Orchestra or provide other support may contact our secretary.
