Rehearsal Schedule

Rehearsals run from 7.30 - 9.30pm on Tuesday evenings during term-time.

All rehearsals take place in our regular rehearsal venue - The Studio, Camden School for Girls, Sandall Road, London, NW5 2DB - unless otherwise stated.
The hall is open by 7.15pm – please arrive in good time so we can be ready to start playing promptly.

We use Doodle polls at the start of term so Lev can plan rehearsals. If your attendance changes, please update the relevant poll: 1st Violins, 2nd Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses, Woodwinds, Horns and Brass.  Please let James know of any last minute changes; wind players should arrange a dep for any rehearsals they're missing.
