Introduction
Based in Calver, Derbyshire, the Peak Chamber Orchestra exists to play music in an informal and friendly atmosphere and has been active for over 50 years attracting amateur musicians throughout the Peak District and beyond.
From an earlier focus on purely classical music the orchestra now plays a wider variety of music from classical to modern including, for example, music from shows. It provides an opportunity to make music in a nurturing and collaborative way.
We rehearse at 7:30pm every Tuesday evening during term time in the Methodist Church Calver and welcome new players of a reasonable standard. No audition is required nor is there a joining fee and being a member of the orchestra is an ideal opportunity to develop as a musician, sharing your knowledge and experience with other players.
If you are interested in finding out more or would like to come along to a rehearsal then we would be pleased to hear from you. You can make contact by clicking here.
Rehearsals will start for autumn this year on 2 September 2025 under the leadership of our new conductor.
