UL Orchestra
The Orchestra maintains a steady membership of 45-50 players and its string
sound has improved steadily. It still maintains its Community Orchestra
image: the players come from the University, from the schools and music
schools of the vicinity and from the surrounding area. Anyone who plays an
instrument may apply - they are always happy to consider new players.
