+ Sampson Orchestra of Cambridge

‘Founded in 1987 by the late Charles Sampson in response to requests for a new symphony orchestra which could harness the very talented players and music teachers, within the Eastern Counties to perform large classical repertoire to the highest standards ... A particularly important sphere of the Cambridge Orchestra's activities has been to work with local charities ... The orchestra consists of around 50 regular members. There are no subscriptions and musicians play by invitation. The orchestra performs around 5 concerts a year and rehearses in Cambridge.‘
