TVRO Members’ Area

The Thames Valley Recorder Orchestra is currently at full capacity and we’re not able to take any new members for the time being. If you would like to be considered to join if places become available please use our contact form here.

TVRO members should scroll down for information about rehearsal and concert dates.

The minimum standard to join the orchestra is grade 6 level, although this is a nominal requirement as many recorder players haven’t taken any exams on the instrument.  We rehearse from 2.30 to 5.30pm on one Sunday per month, from October to June, at Knowl Hill village hall, The Terrace, Knowl Hill, Reading, Berkshire. RG10 9XB.

Rehearsal dates for 2024/25 season:

13 October, 10 November, 8 December, 12 January, 9 February, 9 March, 13 April, 11 May, 8 June. Concert - Sunday 22nd June 2025 at 3pm. Loddon Hall, Loddon Hall Rd, Twyford, Reading RG10 9JA

Rehearsal dates for 2025/6 Season:

12 October, 9 November, 14 December, 11 January, 15 February, 8 March, 19 April, 10 May & 14 June. Concert on Sunday 28th June.

Please note two of our 2025/6 rehearsals are on the 3rd Sunday of the month because of unavoidable clashes with a recorder orchestra course and the SRP Festival. For next season we will bring back our pre-Covid rule that players must attend at least six of the nine rehearsals if they are to play in the concert. This should help make rehearsals more consistent and ensure we have a stress free concert as everyone will be well prepared.
