Members' Information

Occasionally, there may also be additional rehearsals in the lead-up to concerts. Availability forms will be sent out before each project and these dates will be confirmed in advance.

If you are absent for a rehearsal, you must provide a dep and let the Orchestral Manager know at orchestral.manager@ulso.co.uk.
