We play music that is fun, enjoyable, stimulating, expressive and playable for a wide range of abilities in a friendly and supportive environment. ELLSO members are enthusiastic and committed (some travel from as far away as Oxford) and willing to tackle a wide variety of music even though, as late starters, some have not yet reached a high standard technically. There are four sessions led by experienced tutors, covering ensemble playing, musicianship and technique classes for varying stages of ability. From day one you play in an ensemble and take part in the end of term concerts. Find out more about us

BeginnersWe welcome complete beginners only at the start of our year in September, so that they can take full advantage of the tuition we provide. More experienced players are welcome to join us at any time. |

ELLSO is the London Orchestra for Late Starters. We're a teaching string orchestra, passionate about playing - and we’ve been going for over 25 years. At ELLSO we want to encourage participation in music by adults, so if you already play a stringed instrument (violin, viola, cello or double bass) or would like to learn (even as a complete beginner), we could be the orchestra you're looking for - you don't need to audition.
