Concert on Saturday 28 February 2026, 2.30pm, Peebles Burgh Hall.

The programme includes well-known music from film, theatre, TV and concert hall:

• How to Train Your Dragon selection from the films

• Florence Price's Symphony No. 1 3rd movement

• Mambo from West Side Story by Bernstein

• Mussorgsky's A Night on the Bare Mountain

The pieces are arranged in parts for beginners, grade 1-3, and grade 4-5 abilities, which can all be played together.

​

If you have ever wanted to try playing with an orchestra, or if you used to play but you're a bit rusty, or if you're an experienced player, then this is for you!  Everyone is welcome, as long as you play an instrument and you can read music.

​

For younger players: if 7.30-9.30pm runs too late, you can attend just the first half of each rehearsal, and we will rehearse a subset of pieces during this time. You can play just these pieces in the concert.

 

It is completely free!
