83 Years of Magnificent Music Making
Est. 1940

Come and join us.
We rehearse on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. 'til midday at Newent Community School, Watery Lane, Newent GL18 1QF.

Newent Orchestra consists of amateur players from around the Three Choirs counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Membership encompasses a wide range of playing abilities and ages. This friendly orchestra is currently growing in membership and repertoire and presents highly successful and enjoyable concerts and events at local venues. Repertoire ranges from light orchestral to powerful symphonic, from film to original works.

Newent, in Gloucestershire, is a picturesque medieval town, about ten miles from Gloucester and from Ross-on-Wye. Cheltenham, Ledbury, Monmouth and Malvern are within our catchment area.
