ARE YOU LOOKING TO HIRE AN ORCHESTRA?
ARE YOU LOOKING TO HIRE AN ORCHESTRA?
On many occasions, SGO has formed a partnership with a local musical society, choir, church, charity or other organisation. We have also given concerts in venues around Oxfordshire, including Bicester, Witney, Sunningwell, Islip, Hampton Poyle and Kidlington. Examples of organisations who have commissioned our services, or with whom we have partnered for a joint event include:

WHAT WE CAN OFFER
WHAT WE CAN OFFER
We welcome the opportunity to perform concerts of overtures, concertos, symphonies, suites, opera, ballet etc, or to accompany choral societies, or as part of a larger festival. We can provide either the whole orchestra or a selected part of it (40-70 players), with or without conductor, to suit your requirements, programme, venue size etc. We can also suggest repertoire and soloists if required.
As SGO is a community not a professional orchestra, and most of our players live near Oxford, we are more likely to be able to respond to your request if your concert is in Oxfordshire.
