About ERSO
One of London’s leading community orchestras, ERSO performs a range of ambitious repertoire, giving five to six concerts a year in venues across London. The Orchestra champions developmental opportunities for emerging conductors and performers, but remains committed to giving concerts for children – at least one concert per season is devoted to a younger audience.
ERSO attracts conservatoire students and graduates, professionals at the start of their careers as well as skilled and experienced amateur musicians. Many are drawn by the rare opportunities offered to play diverse, challenging repertoire such as Messiaen’s Turangalîla Symphony under the direction of Peter Stark, one of the UK’s foremost conductors.
We usually hold around four rehearsals leading up to concerts, with most rehearsals held on Sundays at Camden School for Girls, Sandall Street, Camden.
