Want to join IDO?

There is no audition process, we expect members to have orchestral experience and be comfortable playing at a Grade 8 level.

Fill in our application form below to be added to our player database to be invited to future concerts. Please note we have over 300 players on our database with some sections heavily subscribed. We try to include a mix of new players and established players in each concert session.

Concerts are held approximately twice per year. As we want to allow as many busy medical professionals to join us as possible we do not rehearse throughout the year, instead rehearsals take place intensively in the days prior to the concert - usually Friday to Sunday with a concert on Sunday afternoon. Music is uploaded to our players area of the website for private practice in advance of the rehearsal sessions.
